Fun times
Fun times or “geek times” I should say started last weekend. So I finally gave vista a chance. Since I was involved with beta testing of Vista, they sent a licensed Vista Ultimate Edition to me. So now I have Windows Vista Ultimate on my new laptop. The first thing that I do when get a new PC is to clean up all factory installed mess. AOL, Norton Trial, Snapfish login, etc. , for example. The next thing I did was I installed VMWare.
Now I have a Ubuntu running on my machine, under VMWare, with Oracle 10g RAC installed and configured. I am loving this whole new setup. Here is a screenshot.
If you wish to have a similar setup, you can get the required tools from here. I also upgraded my HTMLDB to APEX 3.0. As you can see in the image above, there is an icon on the desktop named “HTMLDB 1.6″. The image below shows the version of the tool after the upgrade. Look at the version name and number on the right-bottom area of the screen in the picture below.
So all I need now is MS Office on my vista and I am all set. No other installation needed. Well, maybe I will install photoshop but that’s about it.
