Due to an unwieldy supply of email addresses I decided it was time for some rationalisation. Some Google addresses, including what was my main Google Account address, had to go. So I was faced with the challenge of transitioning my entire Google Life (eight years worth).
This is an overview of what worked for me and what didn't.

After managing Dell servers for a while I recently discovered they have some very handy Linux tools for managing BIOS and other firmware updates as well as a software repository. It integrates very nicely into RedHat and CentOS. Well done Dell. I can't believe I've missed this all this time.
The instructions below install all three repositories and focus on getting all the firmware in your server updated. All commands are run as root.
