lirionI has a working Linux box!
(I should also stop talking like a lolcats)
Despite my best efforts, Windoze virused on me the other day - well, not that my virus or spyware software think so, but Zone Alarm stopped initializing mysteriously and if I'm net connected the task bar and task manager freeze up and die and after a bit so does everything else until I need to hit the rest button. All bad really. Conincidentally this occurred as we were trying to make Linux go on the other partition. *cue spooky music*
Regardless, tonight thanks to the kindly assistance of one D, Debian it does not only run, but it talks to my modem as well. Yaaaay. mmm give me my fix of internettage.
It's been a long time since I've used a linux box, and I've still got some teething issues to work through. Name;ly I'm really missing my alt+tab ability at present. But I'll adjust, it's all good.
And at some point I've still go to blow about the old doze and reinstall it. After backing shit up.
But now, I believe I have several scrabble games to catch up on...

Date: 2007-12-28 05:34 am (UTC)It's hard for me to explain what it is about Kubuntu/Debian that I'm not happy with - it's all tiny stuff, subtle stuff. It's not just that It Isn't Fedora, because for all my reverence of old ways and traditions, I'm also often at the head of the queue when something new comes along that does ring my bell.
Also, life will be much easier in any event once I collar Himself for long enough to get him to sort me out with ze VM, so I can ditch the wonky obstreperousness that is WINE (add extra H as desired) and run dear old Word without crashes, glitches and massive swearies!
