You're almost good enough to be a slashdot editor!
Cool now that I spent the last 2 days installing Visual Studio 7 Enterprise Architect on my Win XP box, I can unload the Rh 7.192 Advanced server test platform I had setup and Was going to upgrade to the current redhat 7.3 beta, and instead spend the next week downloading and installing, compiling and playing with Gentoo , until that is RH 7.4 (or 8 whatever) is released since Solaris 9 isnt going to offer an Intel version I can wipe my solaris 8 intel box and try to load......
Holy shit no wonder I dont ever get any actual work done anymore, between loading new systems to playing with new distros, trying to figure iout this whole ungodly dot.diaster and typing stuff like this on slashdot.....
Time to get back to chasing my tail in circles.....
Sig went tro...aahemmm.....fishing........
You're right - apparently I'm channeling an idiot this morning and for some reason when I saw it on the Gentoo page associated the two more strongly. It definitly does seem like a reasonably neat tool to allow testing of some of the dev stuff that's still to unstable to put on a business machine...
Gentoo also has a picture of the new iMac
:)
What the hell is that thing anyway?!
Sure, it's great for those with broadband, but what about those who don't have broadband?
Yeah, and what about those without a cd-rom drive|electricity|computer|etc? That's so unfair.
