nege's Journal: Linux Blues

Linux and I sometimes have a love/hate relationship. I always love it, sometimes it hates me. See, it always runs great on my server, but anytime I build a new box it turns into a lot of finger crossing an praying to the linux gods that the latest version of RedHat supports my *card and or USB device. Right now I am playing with VMWARE which I borrowed from a friend so that I can run linux simultaneously with Windows - first it hated my mouse, which I fixed by taking a look at the knowledgebase. No big deal, it is also a little slow which is kinda not cool since I am running it on a pretty decent computer (AMD Athlon 1.53Mhz 512 DDR RAM) so even though I am running 2 OSs at the same time, I dont want the mouse to lag. I tried setting the local priority for the machine up, but that didnt help. So I went to go install Enlightenment since it is less baggage than the current Gnome which comes default in RedHat 8. I kept getting RPM segfaults....just NOT encouraging. I think I might just reinstall 7.3 and hope for the best. Redhat 7.3 is running GREAT on my laptop and now I use it for most of my java and psql stuff. Here is a screenshot:

This is a testing of the comment system. This is only a test. I hate the thirty second gay rule that means I have tp type all this crap in order for it to post. Please remove the restriction. Has it been thirty seconds yet? I m not sure. I am not really certain of what time means anymore. I dont think its worth the risk to hit submit just yet, as it was maybe only 29 seconds so far. That has happened you know, and its really frustrating. Maybe now....
