Got to the station last night and found that the drive in my desktop had shit the bed. I was … unthrilled.

I just happened to have a spare 40GB drive hanging out there at the station so I popped that in and got a fresh XP install on it. That got me a desktop back in short order. I was then happily surprised to find that I had seutp roaming profiles back when I installed Samba and setup the station domain.

Once I had the machine on the net and logged into it, it sucked down all of my preferences and desktop items and the like. I installed Firefox, Thunderbird and SecureCRT … they were ALL already setup with all of my settings, plugins and such. I was QUITE happy with that.

It’s encouraged me to setup my home network in the same way. should be a good time I think.
