Holizz versus the Web

Desktop Linux survey launches.

1. Which Linux distros do you use on your home or office desktop system(s)?

Debian - at home

Red Hat - at uni. (ick)

2. Which windowing environments do you frequently use on your Linux desktop(s)?

XFce - it is XFTW

3. Which web browsers do you frequently use on your Linux desktop(s)?

Firefox - teh super-suck

4. Which email clients do you frequently use on your Linux desktop(s)?

Does not apply - GMail

5. Which of these methods do you use to run Windows apps on your Linux desktop(s)?

None — I don’t run Windows apps on Linux - well yeah…

Of the many Ubuntu releases I have tried, none have been any good.

It doesn’t look at your harddrives and run swapon for swap partitions. In fact, I tried running swapon /dev/hda2 and it gave me some error message in Japanese (because I was using the Japanese localisation). But I’m sure it said something along the lines of Ubuntu is only for popular bloggers with machines purchased in the past two years, how dare you attempt to allow your old machine to run it at a sensible speed?!.

On top of that, its GTK2 buttons always look like they’re being broadcast on Channel 5 until you mouseover them. It’s the only distribution that I’ve ever witnessed doing that.

I may have installed Ubuntu once with one of the old installer-seperate-from-the-live-CD, but I haven’t managed to install Ubuntu (or Xubuntu) from one of the live-and-installer CDs. It always fails with some cryptic error message (or in the latest case, it crashes - presumably from lack of RAM which would be fixed with swapon - before I can finish installing).

I’ve decided that Ubuntu must only like really recent PCs and the bloggers that write their blogs on them (which is why all the bloggers love Ubuntu).

Having said all that, I keep downloading and burning Ubuntu hoping that I’ll be able to install it and actually try it.

lockstep

Two or more machines running the same programme, for the purposes of discovering discrepancies. When more than two machines are used, the one machine that disagrees is usally defined as incorrect. This appears to be the system in use between NERV’s three magi.

And no, this will not become a daily feature. But just think how great it would be if it did…

I AM:

Eating rice and watching Stargate SG-1 season 9.

I WANT:

To be busy.

I WISH:

For nothing.

I HATE:

Chobits. I finished it yesterday at last. I thought it started to pick up at the end, but it was such an anti-climax. Sumomo and Kotoko were the only good characters.

I MISS:

Being busy.

I FEAR:

Not the Aurai. (As I say, I’m watching SG-1).

I HEAR:

Keiichi.Net Radio

I WONDER:

Why packaging software doesn’t fill my soul.

I REGRET:

Several things.

I AM NOT:

Omniscient.

On occasion.

I SING:

Along to anime theme songs.

I CRY:

Rarely.

Food.

I WRITE:

Code.

I CONFUSE:

June and July.

I NEED:

Food to survive.

I SHOULD:

Clean the kitchen.

I START:

University in a few months.

I FINISH:

University in less than a year if all goes well.

I LOVE:

Japanese.

I REMEMBER:

Lots of things.

I TAG:

Not. Because it’s a dumb concept.

It’s called an iTunes Meme, but strangely enough I don’t use iTunes (I use Amarok).

Top five played songs?

I’m afraid I haven’t preserved my current Amarok data. It was created this morning (yesterday morning), in fact. If only some kind of BeFS-like filesystem was used, maybe the catastrophy of not knowing my top five played songs could have been averted.
