A Weekend Spent Geeking Out
New Debian install sexiness.
After a little wrestling around with Nvidia drivers and crappy integrated sound, I managed to get everything up and running. I still have a few things to finish configuring (by much banging of my head against the desk, I’m sure) but I’m excited that this was a mostly painless install.
And I must say I’m in love with this machine now. Is it blasphemous to say I almost prefer Compiz to Expose on my MacBook?
Now if only I can get WoW running worth a damn on here, I’ll have no reason to ever boot into that blasted Windows partition! All in all, I’m really impressed with how far Linux has come. I remember my first try at installing Mandrake years ago and the many utter failures that were to come after that. I think this is the first time I would actually consider a complete switch to Linux. 
I’m sad that it’s already Sunday. Weekends are so extremely short these days. I guess I can look forward to that two week “vacation” in December that’ll be here before I know it. It’s another beautiful day here in “Vacation Wonderland”. I should head down into town, maybe camp out at a cafe and people watch but no, I’m sitting here with my nose against the screen and my fingers glued to the keyboard.
Maybe I am addicted….
