After an evening (yesterday evening in particular) spent messing around with screen (gladly helped in my first steps by this wiki page) I’m still in the right mood for some informatic revolution here at home.
The battle of the laptop is definitely over: I’ve decided to go for a Thinkpad X60s. As previously decided, on the new baby I’ll install a Debian system, just to stick with the previously mentioned spirit of revolution.
I’m not going deep in the reasons that will lead me leaving my beloved Slackware (a 10.1 on my laptop and also on my gateway/firewall/fileserver etc machine), at least not in this post, but I’m quite excited by the news coming under the form of new opensource to play with… for now, let’s say I’ve been conquered by the amazing Debian community, or at least by how amazing it seems from the outside.
It is something interesting enough to give it a good try!
Anyway, in the next days (a lot of days I predict) I’ll go 100% Debian, 100% wireless for the home LAN and Thinkpadded: quite enough for a good geek August!
I’m quite sure I’ll be blogging about all this in the next future.
What about the rest?
Oh well, I’m not flying as much as I’d like to be doing but after all not every monthly planning can be the best (and busiest) of the world, so I’ll go like with this for this month.
Tomorrow morning I’ll be leaving for La Romana in Dominican Republic for a minimum rest, planning to be back by Thursday afternoon just in time to order the X60s.
I’m really loving this job even if it’s quite weird how I go into crisis when I happen to be off a plane for more than 3 days in a row: I have already become a flying-addict… not that I don’t like this, but sometimes it is just a little strange ;)
