This morning was spent doing DIY:
- Installed new fluorescent light in the shed
- Fixed “Kadesh” brass nameplate to shed door!
- Fixed new bolt to back gate
- Fixed new hose reel to the wall
- Built CD bookcase extension from old bookcase
- Trip to local dump (recycling centre)
This afternoon was spent doing geeky stuff
- Sorting out my pile of old technology in the cupboard
- Selling a few bits and pieces on eBay
- Watching Dream Theater DVDs on my PC
- Installed 120GB hard drive in Mum’s old PC (former HDD had died)
- Currently installing Kubuntu 6.06 on it (to replace Windows XP Home)
That’s what holidays are for…
So what’s Kubuntu when it’s at home on your PC then?
Hi Bill e Bob — I’ve just linked to Kubuntu from the post. I installed it on my Mum’s old PC, which is currently being used as a ‘playground’ PC, ie one that I can mess around with. 🙂
It’s a Linux distribution, based on the Ubuntu fork of Debian GNU/Linux, but unlike Ubuntu which uses the GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) interface Kubuntu uses KDE (K Desktop Environment).
It’s really cool — you can download and run a Live CD version of both to check them out. Once when my main XP hard drive died I used a Ubuntu live CD as my main OS for about a week.
