Interests
I tried, just out of curiosity the "inner workings" of Linux. So, I went to www.linux.org and searched for distros. or otherwise known as "distributions." I narrowed down a few choices. Of course, I use an IA-32 processor (Intel processor, or better yet, a Celeron), so I chose "Intel-based" (or something like that). I then found a few other distro types, so I decided to get a Debian-based distro.

I wasn't sure on if I wanted to go ahead and "take the plunge," so I burned a couple of Live CDs (a full OS that you can run right off the CD) I first chose Damn Small Linux (or DSL for short), a very small Linux distro based both on the Debian kernel and based using Knoppix tech. After that, I decided to get the "real" Knoppix, and ran that for a few hours.

The next day, I was so wired on caffeine that I decided to go ahead and take the plunge to get Linux on one of my hard drives (One, which still has my Windows XP install on it, my 60 GB, and the another one, my 10 GB), so I moved all my files that were on my 10 GB HDD to the Windows "C:" drive and re-formatted what was then known as the G: drive as a FAT32 drive. I then burned two Debian install CDs (I found out later that there are 14 install CDs), inserted the first CD and rebooted the system. While I was rebooting, I said to myself "Goodbye Windows, hello Linux."

Long story short, I had to try to install Linux about three or four times. The very last (working) install, I had to re-install my 3Com 10/100 Ethernet card (and run a 100-foot cable) so I could get the Internet, because my Wi-Fi card wouldn't be recognized, and I tried about the entire late night/early morning to get ndiswrapper running, or some Linux version of my Wi-Fi card's driver.

At least I would only use Windows just for stuff that I cannot run on Linux, but until I can compile wine, a dual-boot scenario has to be in order.

:tux: At least Linux is here to stay on my PC. :tux:

I've been lurking the somethingawful forums for pretty much half a decade now. They fucking LOVE to share opinions on you.

Surprised they would even spend one, rusty disgusting penny on you.
