    This was annouced at about 1:20am BST, when I was about 200MB into disk 1 of 2004.1

    So now I've got to downoad 2004.2 from the beginning, and trash 2004.1

    If only I had warning...

    I have gentoo on my computer. You might think this is good, but its bad. My ex-boyfriend was a big gentoo-lover, in fact he was a developer for it or something. But now he's left me, and all that's left of him are some books and the impact he made on my computer.

    I would love to be able to use linux more, I am taking a course in community college and my boyfriend was wonderful for helping me out with that but when I told him that I hated him developing for gentoo all the time (he even forgot out anniversary) and sitting at the computer all the time, things went from bad to worse, and we eventually split up. And I regret it because now I'm failing college!

    So anyway, I've tried gentoo a lot but it seems to have the occasional problem and I can't make it burn CDs or sync with my ipod, so my tutor recommended SuSE, so perhaps I will try that.

    I'm catholic and from Scotland originally, so I'm not really from a computing background (none of my family is working class you see) but it is interesting to learn about and I'm thinking linux is the best thing for learning web development, and gentoo especially when you get more advanced.

    Sorry for my rambling :)

    Wouldn't most computers be too busy compiling to actually be able to slashdot anything?

    I run gentoo myself btw, I just get tired of all the compiling sometimes.
