(Mostly-)new system day!

There's a reason why my operating systems languish without updates (sometimes literally without a single one) between reinstalls, even though Linux makes it dead easy and you don't have to back everything up before running updates unless you're really paranoid.

What a perfect name! I heartily approve. ;)

Hope all goes well; and this has reminded me that I really should back up my data asap, since my computer is prone to fits of random crashing lately.

Garcia was very good to me, so I hope Mahir will be also! (If we hadn't named a kitten Claudia, there might have been more competition, but I've been wanting to name something for Mahir for a while, and this seemed like a good choice.)

Nameless computer--! *sad* Maybe one will come to you.

LOL, I've started naming stuff too. My laptop is 'Greymalkin' because his case is grey, and my desktop is Spike after Snoopy's brother (my previous desktop was named Snoopy).

I've yet to name my tablet though. Nothing is coming at present.

Somehow it does not surprise me that the new name is from Newsflesh.

I shall miss Garcia though...

And indeed, it would be surprising if it surprised you!

Garcia will live on as the new media server!
