I’m getting quite good at going though the install sequence, although since they did major revisions in January and my boot disc was from 2002 I’ve spent some time translating stuff for the new world. Oh, and Java failed to compile last night, but it was fixed this morning, so... http://www.aquarionics.com/journal/2003/10/09/I_have_a_weblog%3F Lack of entries? Lack of life. My entire life at the moment seems to consist of Wake up, Go to work, Code, Go home, Dinner, Sleep, Wake up. Go to work, fix computers, go home, dinner, sleep…) with variations like reversing dinner and going home and having dinner in London with ccooke & ruthi, The last few days have been mostly spent putting my new work setup together, which consists... http://www.aquarionics.com/journal/2003/02/06/Grr%2C_Argh I don't know if it's a function of my generic love of musicals, or the fact I like Buffy so much, but I've now had the OMWF soundtrack almost on constant repeat for nearly three days.

So, I had finished part one of the Gentoo install project, getting a basic system (but not yet bootable, so I had to boot from the CD image and chroot into it) with glibc and stuff, then I wandered into windows to catch up a little. Twenty minutes later, I'd redesigned Aquarionics to... http://www.aquarionics.com/journal/2003/02/05/Scholar_and_a_Gentoo-Man # cd /camberwick/distro # rm -f debian # wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/1.4_rc2/x86/x86/livecd/gentoo-basic-x86-1.4_rc2.iso The Debian unstable ISO doesn't work. The Debian Stable CD is scratched, and I no longer have that ISO. The Debian mirror means my data drive was full. Time to try a new distro for my desktop, I think (Server stays as Debian, natch).
