Since this blog comes with my LQ account, I think I'll use it to blog about my linux experiences.
I recently finished getting Gentoo (more or less) set up on an IBM T40 laptop. I'm using KDE 4.1 on it, and it runs pretty smoothly, given how old the hardware is.
I just updated to GCC 4.3 on that machine, which is exciting for no real good reason. GCC 4.2 isn't even listed as stable yet in Gentoo, but I wanted a more recent version that has better P6 optimization (the pentium-m in my thinkpad sits between the Pentium III and the Core 2).

I switched (again) back to Ubuntu. The ease of installing programs and the large repository of programs to install makes the distro just so damn convenient. The only thing I really, really dislike about it is I can’t log in as root…oh and Xorg (or maybe compiz?) crashes on me more often than I would like (sometimes so bad I have to use skinny elephants). I think once I buy some DVD’s I’ll try out Fedora 9.

I started using Suse 10.2 when I was forced into medical retirement. At first it was discouraging, but as I learned the terminology it became easier. Once you learn how to use YaST (package manager) it becomes easy. I do not know if I would be using any linux distro if I had started with any other distro. I currently have seven different distros working on this computer and have made room for twelve more. I have a separate partition for data (250 gig) which is fat 32 and it shares pictures with my wife's XP. We co-exist on one desktop computer with a hers and mine laptop.

General system information:
# uname -a
Process information:
# top
(Shift-M to order the list by memory use)
Memory information:
# free -m
BIOS information:
# dmidecode | less
Distro information:
Ubuntu: # lsb_release -a

Retaining /home partition during installation is like balancing a pencil on its point, unless the installation presents option of whether or not to retain previous configurations and the user says NO, DO NOT; because sometimes one is only installing to be rid of those configurations that were tying the OS up in a knot.
