Learning Linux
At my home, christmas has already started. My girlfriend put the first christmas cd on on October 29th. If she had as much time as I have, our small apartment would probably already be wound up with all her christmas decorations. As of now, I just hope I can keep it at bay until the middle of November at least.
As for the headline of this entry; "Learning Linux", it's related to a new subject in school; "Operating Systems". It has required us all to install Linux on our computers so we can mess with operation system by writing C applications, and so I have been tossed into the foreign and strange world of Linux.
Lucky for me, I've been using computers long enough to have a solid experience with DOS, so the console concept is not completely new to me. Besides the command line, there is also several GUI's to choose from, and I have installed Mandrake Linux with KDE. I'm running it on Virtual PC since I wasn't really up to letting Linux getting it own partition, and I also like the concept of just having Linux in a sandbox in my good old Windows XP.
