Loading ...Sung to the tune of “Mary had a little lamb”:
Mandrake 10.1 is out
One is out
One is out
Mandrake 10.1 is out
I think it’s really great.
Yes, it is more geeky software stuff. As you may remember from this post, I have been trying to slowly end my dependence on Microsoft products. Well, I’m getting closer. I finally got off Outlook, and onto Thunderbird in Windows. And now, with Mandrake 10.1, which I updated via urpmi (yea urpmi!), I think I am comfortable enough with linux that I have made it my default OS. So here’s my linux setup:
Mandrake 10.1 (hence the song)
email: evolution or thunderbird (jury is still out)
web browsing: firefox
text: Openoffice.org
music: amorak (i miss ITunes, though)
instant messaging: gaim
imaging: the Gimp
desktop: gnome
The only reason to boot into Windows now is for games, where Microsoft still rules. (I did have a pesky harddrive problem that I booted in Win to diagnose and rescue some stuff on my FAT partition, which was broke because of EZ-DRIVE, which Windows needs — oh nevermind).
I will keep you updated, whether you like it or not.

Half of this is still Greek to me, and yet I love reading it. Keep whispering those geek-talk sweet nothings in my ear; for some strange reason, I respond.
