Debian 6.0.6 64-bit Install on Proliant ML110 G7
by Amarjit Labhuram 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

When installing Debian 6.0.6 64bit after the option to boot using DVD/CD all I get is a blank black screen with a blinking white cursor. I also have a DVD for Debian 5.0 32bit and when I try that the installer runs well. Also checked it with 32bit versions of Windows Server 2003 & Ubuntu Server 9 and can at least get to the installation menu. What could be causing this to happen with the 64bit installer? Have a great day! Warm regards, Amarjit Singh Labhuram.

KPLC Call Centre / Electricity Bill via e-mail
by Odhiambo Washington 05 Oct '12

05 Oct '12

<Rant> 1. KPLC have (so far amongst those I have heard) the worst IVR in Kenya. They are followed by CFC StanBic Bank's IVR. Repetitiveness in the IVRs are simply annoying! If you doubt this, call 0711 031 680 (for KPLC) and hear for yourself. 2. KPLC seems to have silently stopped dispatching Electricity Bills via e-mail. Is it just me? Called them to find out and they puked on my shoes! </Rant> -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
