Picture proof that primal is now running xubuntu. ^_^

cavebearranting will be brining over his Armada when he gets it for similar treatment. :D( Oh and this elusive character... )
And now, off to work!

More Laptop Geekery
Oct. 25th, 2007 10:49 amIt was a Bad IdeaTM for me to build primal with Debian Etch (Stable). Sure things will be stable, but it's too old for me to do what I want to with it.
So I'm going to see about slapping Gentoo on it when I replace the 12GB HDD with a 40GB one. I know it means that it's gonna take a long while for things to compile/install, but it's a lot more current and I can configure things specifically for my machine. As I'll only be installing FluxBox as the WM and a few other minimal applications for web-browsing, email, and IMs it'll be worth the hassle.
I might still try xubuntu though.

PXE Install
Oct. 24th, 2007 10:04 amWell, after too much farting about following conflicting HOW-TOs and manuals I finally got dhcpd3 and tftpd-hda configured properly. I've now installed Debian Etch on my Compaq Armada (hereby known as primal) via PXE. :D
Now I just need to configure it, which I'll probably do tonight.
