New stuff. Woo Hoo
My computer desk is clean. It’s been a while. I need the space for the second monitor, keyboard, mouse and computer that, hopefully, I’ll be adding tomorrow.
Straight out, I wanted a Mac. I use them at work and love em, but I just spent a very expensive few days in the big city and I didn’t feel I could afford the $1k required, so I went with plan B. I have a 2.4 gig processor and an 80 gig hard drive so I’m building a computer around them.
I purchased one of those mini cases (I’ve wanted one for years), a gig of memory and a DVD Rom all for $300ish. They should have arrived today. Instead, they sit in Seattle, for the fourth day, according to my Federal Express tracking info. But, who’s watching?
I’ve decided to try ubuntu linux after looking at many others. Unknown to me, I was downloading the live CD on the day of the new revision release. I guess I owe the ubuntu community an apology for helping to load their mirror servers. Especially as I’ve decided to install the 6.06 version and not the new 6.10.
Hopefully the hardware will show up tomorrow. I’m excited. Wish me luck.
