erica's joys :)

I'm sitting here installing Edubuntu as I type. I didn't realize just how old this Presario is. 8.0 GB hard drive my friends. I'm going to assume the processor is a PII as another of my older machines is a 5100 series with a PII. It's taking forever to install but I'm not surprised, given those specs.

While I wait for the install to finish (Building LTSP chroot 50%) I shall blog. The DS Lite got released today and I. Want. Need. One. I went to Worst Buy yesterday to kill time and there was a Blue Shirt holding one for people to try out. Of course it had SMB on it and of course I stood there for 15 minutes looking so out of place as I played. 25 (almost 26 *shudder*) year old black chicks aren't necessarily Nintendo's target demographic. I won't let a thing like demographics deter me, thank you very much. I want my DS Lite con Mario and I want it NOOOOOW.

Install is moving forward (Installing Packages) and I really should be timing this. I know it has been at least an hour since I started. Ah well, more time to drink Parrot Bay and OJ and continue blogging.

I bring more good news from the Linux front...Qunu.com. For some background, if you weren't already aware, a major "problem" with getting people to switch to Linux is lack of support. Qunu attempts to address that problem by bridging the gap between experts and new users. Wow, I sound like a press release. Anyhow, here's hoping the idea and the site takes off and proves to be a useful tool for a long time to come.

Ah installation has finished with a lovely disk space error. Methinks I will install again and not accept the default formatting scheme. Back to the drawing board!
