New laptop, new country
While Seth gets an X40, I mosey’ed over to grab an R51. Its huge, but its well-spec’ed out now. Fedora Core 3 promptly went on it, after I failed to pacify the silly Windows XP to dual-boot, and give me a sane amount of space back (17GB for Windows is far too much). Everything works (I installed it in stages in my sleep), except ACPI sleep (time to boot with acpi=off to see if it works), the wireless (I’ve installed ipw2100 stuff, and need that udev update I think), the modem (slmodem seems to fail?), but otherwise, it seems to work well.
In Kuala Lumpur now, its warm, and I’ve been stuck in nothing but traffic jams. There were Deepavali celebrations, and now there are Hari Raya celebrations, so things are all supposed to be quieter, but they’re not. Caught Shark Tale – cinema packed with kids, but fun outcome overall. Good show, I’d recommend it.
