I’m leav­ing this morn­ing for a three day trip to Ottawa for a CIRA board meet­ing. I depend on my Black­berry and my lap­top to run my busi­ness while I’m on the road. I’m going to do an exper­i­ment this trip. I’m going to run Fedora 11 exclu­sively on my lap­top. I’ve always had a multi-boot setup on the lap­top of Win­dows Desk­top, Win­dows Server, and Linux. The cur­rent setup is Win­dows 7 Ulti­mate, Server 2008 R2, and Fedora 11. I’ve set the default boot to Fedora 11 and hope to keep it that way for the next three days. I’ve tried this in the past with var­i­ous dis­tros of Ubuntu and Open­Suse. Nei­ther worked out. For some rea­son I always had to boot into Win­dows some­time dur­ing the road trip. It was usu­ally some­thing to do with Exchange or my Black­berry. I rely on my Black­berry and Exchange to man­age my time, email, and basi­cally my busi­ness. I’ll try to keep this blog up to date with my expe­ri­ences and at the end I’ll post the results.
