Posting from my desktop for the first time in a long time…

Well, as you are probably aware, i’ve not had internet at home for some time. Well anyway, i’m enjoying it, i’ve gone everywhere, done everything, untill my eyes bled! Yes, it is good to have my sweet internet back. Anyway, the only problem i’m having now is that US doesnt’ seem to be working for me now. I wonder if all my simultaneous connections from different computers triggered an alarm or something. Heh, whatever… i’ll just proxy in later and get Geoff or KeM to unblock me. Heh…

Well yaeh, i don’t have much to talk about, but its ok, i’m just posting because I can! anyway, come back soon.

Using Gentoo

ok, installed gentoo to start as an environment to build from. Sometimes i like to play a game now and then while i work, or listen to some music, and its nice if i reboot all my stuff is as i left it. I don’t have to re-setup anything. Using a livecd didn’t give me that luxury.

I left a couple empty partitions for the new OS build. One i’m going to be workin on a livecd, the other is where i’ll make a full out version of my stuff.

but first, i gotta finish installing my email client so that i can see what messages i missed

Good thing for backups

Well, it seems its a good thing I just backed up all my home directory yesterday, cuz today, i did an update, and one of the programs that updated set a 32-bit kernel as a install dependancy and automatically replaced my standard kernel. Ok, there is a slight issue here… I’m running a 64-bit linux OS, if you replace my kernel with a 32 bit one, things might not work so hot eh? I didn’t catch it till it was too late. And since the new 32-bit kernel and the old 64-bit kernel had the same name, i can’t go back to the 64 bit kernel on which everything works. Go figure. Well, i’m fed up to the point that i refuse to install a new distro. I’ve got my LFS cd loaded up on my computer, and i’m going to compile my own distro if it kills me. I’ve already started this project in a VM on my other system…. but i’m going to do it in this live environment for better or worse.

Sides…. whats the worst that could happen *lol, i’m inviting trouble now*
