I be style-in
I built my new computer and am quite happy with it. Initially, I installed Linux ubuntu 6.06, but everything ran slow. I tried a few other distros then installed ubuntu 6.10, the newest and greatest. It’s plenty snappy now.
I spent a couple hours trying to get it to play DVD’s without success. I found many helpful, “do this and it will work”, walk-through on the web. None of them solved my problem. Eventually I wondered why the file system was calling the empty drive “CD-Rom.” A quick check on the box confirmed it is a CD Drive and not the DVD I’d intended to buy.
It’s not so bad. The CD in my main box has been flaky lately anyway. It’s from two computers ago. I purchased a DVD drive today and expect that will solve everything.
Another excitement is the arrival of my new iPod shuffle. It’s even smaller than I expected. I think it will be easily lost. I’ve not put any music on it yet. That’s for after we trash Wailing Caverns in World of Warcraft tonight.
