After messing around with a triple-boot configuration on my laptop (Vista, XP, and Ubuntu), I decided to can the Ubuntu installation. It worked fine, but I wasn’t using it for anything. It was taking up valuable space, too, so I deleted it and allocated the space to my XP installation so I could install more games. Games > Linux.
Anyways, I’m not completely done with Linux. I came across a rather interesting-looking project called Linux From Scratch, which is basically a how-to guide on compiling your own distribution of Linux. It looks pretty daunting, but it provides a good in-depth look at how Linux distros actually work in addition to building a custom distro with everything you want in it and nothing you don’t want. Perhaps I’ll be releasing the Mad Rants Linux distro sometime in the future…
I’m a bit worried about breaking my computer again, but I do need an excuse to reinstall everything. My computer is getting gunked up. Heh, perhaps I’ll learn Dvorak while I’m at it…too bad I wouldn’t be able to come up with a sweet name for my computer like my roommate and his DvorMac.
