A roughly day by day account of my interactions with the illusions we experience together as reality.

Taking Puppy Linux for a walk
Well I decided to fire up the live cd of Puppy Linux just to familiarize myself with the install process and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised! The initial test run froze up after I attempted to test my video settings in XORG. A hard reboot later I decided to roll the dice and see what would happen without testing and *poof* the desktop appeared and was ready to go. I am floored at how fast it is running of the live cd. Seamonkey, as a browser is a little on the fugly side but it is lightning quick. A pleasant surprise to see Flash working out of the box. And an absolute plethora of tools available from the get go. I think I will be keeping this live cd around for a handy little recovery disk. Well we see how well things run tomorrow when we try it out on a system with only 256mb of ram, compared to my 2gig.
