About Dramsey

Email: MailTo(dramsey AT fedoraproject DOT org)

Located on the far right of this picture (in the pink shirt,) I am a Fedora 9, 10, and 11 user currently experiencing the x86 version. I am trying to integrate useful system administration ideas for my Fedora systems.

I am very interested in large memory model programs and multi-core computer systems. I enjoy using virtual machines (VMs) in order to develop a formidable system solution. Through the use of VMs, I am able to try out a variety of software solutions on a VM prior to installation of the software on my production system.

I have taken RH033VT as well as RH131VT coursework. Currently, I am taking the RH253VT course. Also, I plan on taking the RH301VT course during the fall 2009, in order to further establish my Red Hat educational foundation.

I enjoy using VMs for executing my Fedora 9, 10, and 11 systems. With the effective use of VMs, I am able to concurrently run 9 VMs on my workstation. The picture at the bottom right of this page shows 4 VMs with 3 VMs on Fedora 9 and with 1 VM on Fedora 10. The picture at the bottom left of this page shows 1 VM with Fedora 11. Each VM has 1536 MB of RAM for execution and evaluation purposes.

My latest Fedora 11 (Leonidas) kernels are vmlinuz-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 and vmlinuz-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686. I am very interested in the latest Fedora 11 release to see how the iBus Intelligent Input Bus "input framework method system" and EXT4 file system "checksum feature for the journal" have developed.

This is important
A finding on my behalf regarding concurrent guest operating systems is to keep the ntp time clock in sync between the variety of guest VMs.

This is a note
The Fedora 11 version's "Swap" space is defined about 3 GB, versus the Fedora 9 and 10 versions' "Swap" space are defined about 2 GB.
