Things to do...

Wednesday, August 23, 2006

Well, my birthday is coming up soon... and I am hoping to get a new motherboard and processor! I am going with the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 ATX AMD Motherboard and an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Socket 939. In addition, I will then finally be able to use the graphics card I bought a couple of months ago (PNY Verto GeForce 6200 AGP 8x). Nice eh? Well, I am really hoping I get that, because if I do... Xgl here I come! Other than that, I also have a lot planned for the rest of this year, regarding Linux. Here is some of the stuff I want to do:

1. Install SLED 10 (RC3) and set up Xgl!
-Well, its the version I downloaded when it was still free, but RC3 isn't bad... I'll have to see about updates and what not... maybe I'll just buy it.

2. Install Ubuntu Linux
-Setup Xgl! I am Xgl crazy now, and want to try it out for myself. So, I will install using this guide.
-See what cool stuff I can install using apt-get
-Experiment with setting up a server if I can get my hands on an old computer.

3. Once again, attempt an Gentoo install.
-I have heard a whole lot about Gentoo, and I am itching to give it ago. I tried installing it a few months back, but the installer was much to confusing. But now, I am armed with knowledge and the Gentoo Linux installation guide! Can't wait to see how this turns out!


4. Install Linux on my USB Flash Drive!
-I was thinking Knoppix or Slax... it is a 512MB Flash Drive. I'm thinking that if I install Knoppix on the USB Drive, I will have the ultimate Linux tool! If I ever get a 1 gig flash drive, I will try installing Ubuntu on it!



5. Start learning Python again... kinda had to let it go when going to SCGSAH over the summer. Still, I want to learn the language, and I have found some great resources and inspirations for programs!




6 ? Install Linux on my iPod. Man, that would be 1337, but I am not sure if I want to try it out, don't want to ruin my nice 2gig iPod Nano :D anybody have any experiences with this?


7. Learn more about shell scripting... I can already do quite a bit, but I want to learn more!!!

So, there you have it, my plans for the next year or so! Linux is just so cool, I am always eager to try new stuff... 1337 h4x0r status... here I come!!! Just kidding, but really, after I accomplish most of this stuff, I will once again have taken a huge leap in my Linux endeavor! When I complete one of the above, I will be sure to post about it... but that probably won't be for another month or so! Linux is awesome!

Installing Linux on a flash drive gives much of the same versatility as a LiveCD, just on a flash drive it is also possible to save things. Plus, there is that added portablitly factor. Linux+Flashdrive= ultimate tool kit!
