Linux upgrades
I took advantage of the enforced, unplanned outage to update SLES 11 from SP2 to SP3.
All good – the only tiny gotcha was running the MySQL upgrade manually at the end.
Otherwise – looks happy so far.
udev, SLES and Hyper-V
I got bitten by the udev GUIDs when I did the move/upgrade/move back of my on-prem blog server this morning.
What should have been a simple evacuation of some VMs, upgrade the host to Windows Server 2012 R2, move the old VMs back in place – turned into another episode of handcrafting grub entries and checking that everything mounted back up correctly.
I got bit by this before – and I need to drill into the best practices for using SLES 11/udev in a virtual environment.
Re-testing Azure

IPfire 2.13 release candidate
IPfire 2.13 RC1 was released a week or so ago – currently in test – and so far, so good.

I found the secret sauce to make the Fall 2012 release of Intune work with Windows 8.
Happy now I can manage the new machines with Intune.
