ZENworks Imaging updates – forge.novell.com

by | Aug 25, 2005 | evilzenscientist, Linux, Uncategorized, ZENworks

I keep getting asked about updates to the ZENworks Desktop Imaging engine – specifically driver support and the like.

There is a cool project on the Novell forge site – that hosts new drivers, lots of docs and complete ISOs of the environment. It’s here – http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?zfdimgdrv

Point to note – in ZENworks 7 – we moved to a SLES9 based distro for imaging – so driver support is vastly improved.

TSA are jobsworths

Flew back from Stamford, CT – I had to check a carry on bag as it was ‘not permitted’ – not too large, not too heavy – just ‘not permitted’.

I got a leaflet from TSA explaining that sometimes items can be ‘just not permitted’ – at the discretion of the TSA agent.

It’s not like I tried to sneak a box cutter (Stanley Knife to the civilised world), wrench, hockey stick, 5 gallons of gas/petrol or anything else on board. Just a small rucksack – way smaller than the carry on limit – that was ‘not permitted’.

I fly a lot. I fly a lot with just carry on. I fly a lot with this bag.

Jobsworth. Another English word that I proudly introduce to the wider vocabulary of the English speaking word. Learn it, use it, love it.
