Here it goes

First blog, ever!

Well, don't know long I will last, since the only time I had ever kept a journal was when I was in the Navy. Wow, those were hard but "interesting" times. Gotta remember to dig out that journal when I go back to Taiwan this winter.

My lavish Hitachi 160G SATA HD is coming today. I'm going to use it as my primary dirve; one of the 80G's will serve as download storage; and the other 80G will be Linux only.

My last experience with Debian was fun and educating but didn't come out good. I forget what I did but I couldn't get into X anymore. So I'm gonna do a reinstall. My hardware configuration changed afterwards anyway. This time, I think I'm going to try Ubuntu Linux which is a Debian based distro. Their 4.10 preview release got a lot of praises and it's Gnome centered (for now at any rate) which pleases me. Gnome's Mac-like feel is slick and professional.

Alright, I guess it's enough for now. Gonna go wash up and look through my note one last time for MAT230 then do the JPN101 handout now. More to come later, maybe.

P.S. Wow, NewEgg just raised the price of the HD I bought. It was 91 when I placed my order and now it's 99. Gawd Damn!
