My hat is red today, today it is red

Monday 10 May 2004, 20:22 WST

I’ve installed Red Hat Linux, I have done this before. I have also installed Linux from scratch before as well. Although educational, it was very tedious, however being who I am, I will probably do it again with the new drive I’ll be getting… maybe.

I’m trying Linux for my desktop system again, because, well, since I lost all my data I’ve got nothing to lose. Impressions so far, well, it does what I want it to do, I can browse and get my e-mail exactly as before (simply because I was using both Firefox and Thunderbird before.

Things I’ve noticed?
Well for one thing, the Ok/Cancel buttons are all around the wrong way! I keep cancelling stuff I want to accept. What else? Erm, Redhat, and even Linux from scratch don’t support the 2.6 kernel, damn it. I want a pre-emptable kernel, and O(1) scheduler. Ehem, anyway, just thought I better post something, as you were

Goodbye Blue Sky…

My 110GB harddrive has died, taking basically everything with it. That means I’ve lost all my documents, pictures, etc, I had. I think I’ll have to be buying a DVD writer at some point. When you start getting to hugh HD sizes, it becomes a requirement to backup. Otherwise you have more to lose. Ah well
