Switching to Linux

[owsf2000]

Since Zonealarm seems to have gotten borked today and refuses to start, I'm just saying to hell with it all and going to move to linux. Not like there's a DRASTIC need for me to be using windows when the vast majority of the programs I frequently use tend to be ported from linux anyway

Ah, Linux. I miss thee, old friend. Well, not too much; still get to use it at work every once in a while. But at home, it's good to be on an OS where having everything working together is Somebody Else's Problem (tm).

Plus I really like my games..

Speaking of games, how is your namesake coming along? ;)

Egads look at that over there!!!

I blame Icefalcon and his tendency to explain the planned interactions between the intended processes using lesbians. We still don't know why Sarah insisted on having such a close relationship with Sally when they have nothing in common and no reason to talk to one another directly.

(Things similar to this actually came up in the irc meetings. ^^)

But to the other point, I'm not a big PC gaming fan. If I can get everything working at first then I should be good until the sun explodes. Plus when I get a second comp I plan on recovering XP for this comp for what little gaming I might do. (CivII mostly if it works in XP) I'll just be keeping that comp offline.

Have you given Civ III or Civ IV a go at all? I found the latter to be a lot of fun myself.. and it runs in Cedega. *cough* my *choke* employer *wheeze*

Incidentally, any update on when the sun will explode? :)
