I decided to do a screencast for my latest Ubuntu install:

Very cool indeed, Matt! :matrix:

Slackware 12, XFce 4.4.2. Patched my unit a week or two ago to protect against the recently discovered root kernel exploit.

So I have a fairly 'no-name' component system put together by local shop, Athlon 64, Gig RAM, 256 NVIDIA. I've used a lot of *NIX in school and at work but its been awhile. I was really looking for something that would properly install without a headache, let me get to re-learning on something that works I guess. Every Linux distro I try dislikes either my video, NIC or HDD - strangely many LiveCD's would work very nicely (SuSE, Gentoo) until installed.

So anyway, I had been staying away from the BSD distro's because I just assumed the installs would be way too painful for a novice type like me. Eventually, after finding nothing in the Linux world that would take to my box I try out Desktop BSD (regular FreeBSD install already tried), well shit, it works perfectly. Recognizes all components, runs fast as hell. Here's a screen.

I recently decided to retire my Epson C86 inkjet printer, the damn thing is too expensive to run. I went to our local Printer supply shop today and got a new unit. I'm happy with it; it works with my Linux boxes and my daughter's Macbook. It is a HP Laserjet P2015. :matrix:

Heh, I ordered another printer on-line, but, the rocket scientists sent me the wrong unit (a windows only model :wacko: ). I'll be sending the other unit back today or tomorrow when it arrives.

This is interesting:-) I did an install of Gnome Slackbuild on one of my Slackware 12.1 boxes last night. GSB integrates nicely into Slackware without messing up your installation. All my other desktop environments still work. It has a package manager:-) I used Gslapt to update the install this morning.

Edit: Added a day later:

Regarding Gnome Slackbuild: the jury is still out for me.

I've been running GSB now for 24 hours and I've encountered a bug or two. Sometimes when logging out or in using GDM the desktop crashes. Also, GDM doesn't play as nice with the other WMs as I initially thought it did.

I will go back to running Slackware only on this unit. This was a fun experiment:-)

I formatted my old Slackware 12.1 box on Monday, decided to give Debian Lenny another look.

Lenny is running surprisingly well on this ancient Plll 667 MHz IBM with 256 MB RAM. I'm still running Slackware 12.1 on my main work station:-)

Messing around with Hardy Heron...

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on one P4 at work. I am very impressed with Heron's ability to identify hardware. :thumbsup:

Slackware 12.1, running XFce 4.4.2
