The Windows Sysinternals group at Microsoft has released Disk2vhd that is a free physical to virtual converter. Disk2vhd allows you to create VHD (virtual hard dive) files from physical drives on your computer while your system is online.

The VHD files generated can be used in Microsoft Virtual PC or on Hyper-V server or VMWare or VirtualBox.

Great article from InformIT of what to expect and what is required for DirectAccess
Source: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1402334

- Overview of DirectAccess
DirectAccess is a new technology in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that replaces the VPN for remote access. It establishes bi-directional connectivity with the user’s enterprise network every time the DirectAccess-enabled portable computer is connected to the Internet, even before the user logs on.

The article then goes on to expand on the following areas:
- Seamless Connectivity
- Remote Management
- The Engines That Drive DirectAccess
- Riding on IPv6
- Laying the Groundwork

Enjoy :)

Since I bought my OLPC, I have been a big fan of Sugar the XO OS. My kids have learned to use it and its simple interface with its vast amount of educational activities makes it a great OS.

While some have criticized the hardware of the OLPC, there is no reason why you cannot run this on any computer.

If you have a spare USB key (1GB or more), then you have NO EXCUSE.

Visit the sugarlabs site at: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads

download the ISO,

Issue: Static IP address configruation, network not working
Reason: eth0 changed to eth1
Solution: Had to change etc/network/interfaces to reflect the changes, update iface statement to eth1 static

Issue: MySQL returns ERROR 2002 can't connect lo local serve
Reason: MySQLd missing under /var/ and not running
Solution: [easiest] run apt-get install mysql-server-5.1

Overall, great improvements, especially in speed (shutdown).
