Learning that SSIDs are cap sensitive. Clearly this has never come up for me before.. weird.
You're just learning that? Lol
yep it as never an iassue before - I guess I always made the the same case until now.

General best practices anywhere in IT.... avoid spurious capitalization. It matters in a lot of places that people do not realize (like any website running on anything other than Windows.) Good habits are to always be consistent and not to add capitals in names where not necessary (especially URLs, file names, SSIDs, etc.) because it can add confusion when copying names and can cause interaction problems between different systems. Windows people often run into habit issues when moving to any other system because they are used to capitalizing carelessly - files names often can be "close enough" rather than the exact of other systems. But always working consistently (most UNIX people use lower case exclusively) allows you to move between case sensitive and non-case sensitive systems transparently.

Good morning people!
Coffee time -
Hey Joy!
I hope you had plenty of time to drink your coffee!
I had a nice long weekend of waging war with my laptop. Upgraded to Windows 10, then heard about Fedora 23, so I went and downloaded Fedora 22 and played around with it. I couldn't get the NVIDIA Drivers to play nicely on Fedora, so I tried Mint... I was able to ge the NVIDIA drivers going, but the laptop kept hanging... so I switched back to Win10 again, lol.
Note: Veeam's Endpoint Backup apparently does not support Windows 10 right now. I wasn't able to re-install it after I got 10 reloaded.

Now to get on with the rest of the day.
