Linux on VPC 2007 (SP1)

Installation

Installing linux on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 gives kernel panic. To avoid this error, give to the installer the following kernel parameters:

noapic nolapic noreplace-paravirt

I found this info here.

What is my IP?

It looks like the website http://whatismyip.com has limited query of IP in their front page, for computers behind NAT, scripts or CLI browsers, such as links, links2, lynx...

The correct link for this purpose is http://whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp.

I found other solutions:

# wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

# curl -s checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

# curl -s http://whatismyip.org

# lynx -dump checkip.dyndns.org
