- Touched a bit of MorphOS and finding it rather amazing, speed-wise. Very unlike Linux, there’s no terminal, etc.. But its fast. Pity there are around 2,000 users or so.
- Kicked off a Fedora/ppc install. Graphical display still doesn’t come up on the iMac, so its still linux text for me. Think I fixed some gtk warnings in anaconda (we’ll see if pjones commits them). Yesterday’s install failed since it lacked libgcc-4. Today’s install went a lot better - everything got installed, it took the iMac some hours to get there. No requirement to run the magic mkofboot at the end, or even yabootconfig - the installation is pretty much plug & play. And there’s pretty Eclipse and OOo 1.9 in Rawhide now as well, so I’d encourage you all to give it a go. Interested OOo testers should find Fedora/rawhide or even Core 4 test1 something viable to poke around with - very upstream OOo style, hasn’t been Bluecurve’d yet.
- Had a good dinner two nights ago at an amazing Chinese restaurant - lobster noodles, pork, fish, scallops, prawns. Yeah. Studies have started, and thats normal classes and so on - of interest is Computer Graphics where I’m doing some OpenGL stuff, and another where I’d be writing lots of parsers. There’s also going to be financial modelling, which has always fascinated me. Looks like a heavy C-based semester.
