Gentoo and Gnome
My main computer died the other day. The primary hard drive started clicking....usually the death knell of any hard drive. I turned it off immediately and haven't turned it back on yet. I ordered another drive which should be here today. Then I can re-install everything on that drive and plug in the other drive and see what, if anything, i can recover.
If I can't recover anything, then I've just lost the past 3 months of work.
On the up swing, i've been using my secondary linux boxen (compliments of dano. thanks dan!) which i have been setting up with Gentoo and Gnome and all the various little apps that make linux so much fun. I've got to say that as a desktop system goes, i am VERY impressed. I've been able to do just about everything i was doing before, with the exception of DVD burning cause the burner is in the other computer, and its been fun! It's a bit sluggish loading bigger apps, but it is definitely usable as a work or play system.
New hard drive just arrived!
