The title of this post has been my to-do list for the day. I went and bought some shelves at Home Depot, put them up in the garage, and proceeded to Make The Garage Look Nicer™.
Next on the list is money; the bank account needs balancing.
Last on the list is my laptop. I’m about to wipe everything off of it and start over, I think. I’m still debating whether to stick with what I know best and run Gentoo on it, or whether to try one of the many other fine Linux distributions on it. I may just test out Ubuntu again, but I’m not sure I’ll be content with that; Arch Linux, perhaps?
So many choices. More later.
UPDATE
I’ve noticed that I have a copy of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 laying around, which I have never installed anywhere. I figure I’ll load it on the laptop and try it out for awhile because:
- I don’t have time to install Gentoo this weekend.
- Running RHEL4 on my laptop will give me an excuse to test it for more than a few minutes, and see how well it does.
- It will give me something to blog about.
- It’s handy.
The install, so far, is as slick as Red Hat’s installs usually are, but nothing greatly out of the ordinary. I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised… to find things that “just work,” and to learn a little more about RPMs.
