Well, that was easyAs part of our move to Java we're upgrading from our rather ancient version of RedHat to CentOS 5, just built my first Linux server (I'm posting this from it), totally painless install, and quite a nice GUI.
It all makes sense

When I say painless I don't really mean it. Dropped the frigging thing on my foot, server's OK but my toes are in pain, pins and needles too.

A good case for making converging threads: Whats the best thing to do for a poorly toe? was started yesterday. As this seem to be anything but gout, should we start a new line of advice?

1. Start swearing. Even if it is too late for immediate action, at least your mind is put to rest.
2. Make sure that no bones are broken.
3. Whisky. First inside treatment, then the toes. Hurts, but go for the principle of no pain-no gain. Enough whisky is an exellent painkiller.
4. A solid bandage on the foot is great. Makes the world around you respect your obvious discomfort.
5. Stay on the chair in front of the computer the rest of the day. Nobody in a sane frame of mind will ask you to do ANYTHING.
Tell Downsizer about the trouble and get no end of virtual hugs. Mixed with whisky life will look much rosier.
If nothing else helps, see the doc for an x-ray and a sicknote.
