    Amen! I miss mine right now. Put that baby into fast mode and it would have lasted maybe a full millisecond longer than that poor c-64...

  25. Re:beginner friendly on A Better Installer for Debian? · · Score: 1

    I would have to agree with that, however, who does backups? I don't have a tape drive, or a cd-burner, all I have is a floppy drive. Backing up even a small 4 gig HD would take forever. But it's just my desktop, and not anything important, so that's a plus.
