Journal biglig2's Journal: Woo woo, got a Linux box full-time

Well, finally got a setup of a semi-permanent Linux box on the desktop. This is down to two things:
* rdesktop to give me all my Win32 only db clients
* stopped messing about on my laptop and cursing hardware. "Mandrake broke my ps/2 mouse? The mouse?!?!"

Sooo, now I have a nice clean Debian/woody box with Gnome tickedy boo, smbfs access to the HDD on my main workstation (still W2K), mozilla, gnumeric.

Even added fortune to /etc/profiles. Always wanted that ;-)

The next steps are to begin experimenting with things like ethereal; get some sort of ssh going; look at some productivity options. I like Gnumeric, but what about a wp package? TeX?
