02/01/2004: "LINUX -- This is from a Linux browser, I'm such a GEEK"

Ok, it's over. I'm definately beyond hope.

This weekend, I joined the GEEKS permanently!

I am writing this from Konqueror, which is one of the browsers that came with the SuSE Linux distribution I installed on my computer this weekend.

For no reason other than "I can" I decided it would be "fun" to install Linux and enjoy some of that "crash free" computing we read about. Well, I can start by telling you that "crash free" is definately not accurate. However, It does seem to be faster, and the graphics seem to be better . . . but the jury is still out. I'm having fun with the discover process (it's simply too late for me).

I also bought a WinTV 250 in order to experiment with turning my computer into a PVR. I'll post separately as much to my disappointment, WinTV 250 is one of the pieces of hardware that does not appear to be supported under Linux (true? any help?).

More to come . . .
