Haha. One of the coolest things in the world is I can now mount my USB key to my crux install with a little command

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

I don’t, at the moment, have a window manager on my linux partition so I am using command line quite a bit. It is a lot of fun though. I hope that in the next couple of days that all the gnome stuff on the ports system is corrected so I can install it. I just really wish that I could find the Gnome Install Guide, or at least a working link to it.

I do like the ports system that Crux is set up with very nice. It pretty much downloads all the files you need compiles them and installs them.

Also I am trying to learn XSLT right now and am haveing one heck of a time with it. I just can’t seem to find any good tutorials so if you know of any let me know thanks.

Well today I was at the local LUG (linux user group) meeting and I was just so annoyed with openSUSE Beta 3 because of how long it took to boot, and the no mp3 support. These are 2 pretty trivial things when you consider that it does a lot of other stuff for you that you don’t have to worry about.

Well guess what I did. I got rid of and started install probably one of the most difficult distros around. That distro is Crux. Wow was talk about a leap. I basically went from everything is done to ok lets compile the kernel now and manually set up internet connections script. Literally.

Don’t get me wrong I rather enjoy it but wow what a shock to the system. One good things is that it helped me to relearn a few things for the Linux VTM’s.

anyway till next time.

I think the big thing is what is the monitoring services acutally monitoring?

What assurances can Microsoft give that it truely is only monitoring what they say?

I think those 2 questions are good and would answer quite a few things, in my opinion. I think they are braod enough yet specific enough.

On a side note I am new to blogging and how I am using it conversation wise and other things. Am I using it correctly?

Regards and Keep up the good work on Channel 9 it is one of my favorite sites espeically since I am wanting to work for Microsoft someday.

I am going to do some linux tutorials and didn’t want to dual boot or anything like that so I got the idea how about I just use Microsoft Virtual PC. So I installed it and I must say wow it is awesome. Linux works very nice in it. Most people I guess would think that because it is non-microsoft then there would be something in there preventing it from being used, but there isn’t. I can’t wait to get home to use it some more. I really enjoy it.

Oh yeah. I loaded Slackware for the distro. I wanted a cleaner distro for these tutorials.
