Last night I decided to install Ubuntu (HardyHeron) on an old mac as a small side project naturally any such experiment is only carried out under the delusion that “this will be easy”. The actual installation went quite well with only a few minor hitches – all solveable.

The rest of the night, and a long night it became, was spent adjusting, fixing, adapting and tweaking the new system. The main annoyances that still remain are the reactrion times on the keyboard and that the short commands are not installed in the way that I like them yet. Not to mention all the programs (and their settings) that I rely on still need to be installed.

But so far it’s looking good. I wonder if this may be the switch? My last times with GNU-Linux were just explorations.
