The box I built a couple of weeks ago I finally brought to work. It was really
great to show off what Linux could do. There was one person who I really
wanted to show it off too. She was very impressed. I had 6 screens virtual
desktops open and moved a window a window thru all of them just to show them
what Linux was capable of. I also had the screensaver running as the
background. If you haven't tried this out it's great. Pull up a terminal. I
used pyro for an example. Type pyro -root , let window try and do that. I
should have picked a better screensaver tho. How about the matrix -root.
The only problem with the system had 32 megs of ram so it was sluggish but I
did have a lot of things open.
I think she's going to partiton her drive and install Linux. If she started
using linux she'd be a real linux advocate.
At work today. I had to install a network card. Is windows a pain. Sure it's
multitasking. I was installing it from cd but didn't know what directory the
cd was this a pain. In linux I'd find out what module I'd use and insmod
or modprobe it. Is that easy. The more I use Linux the less I like using
windows. I guess I'm really spoiled now. I expect real multitasking now.
