New bike
When oh, when, will GAIM support MSN7 better? All those swanky emoticons, and the like… From a few weeks back, this seemed rather appropriate.
01:32 < @nosnilmot> drbyte: cool, that'd be helpful, although I do worry that you have too many MSN7 using friends 01:32 < drbyte> nosnilmot: yes, that is the way people are moving 01:32 < @nosnilmot> why aren't they moving to a decent OS ? 01:33 < drbyte> nosnilmot: well, Windows XP is decent enough for them. and some software has no linux equivalent 01:34 < @nosnilmot> *exclusive* drbyte defends proprietary crap ;-)
Of interesting bits, Nautilus will no longer have Open Terminal when you right click on the desktop any longer. So like OS X behaves, I have to now go searching for it, and then adding a shortcut to it on a convenient place with new installs… But this is also progress - it means that an average end-user will require to not use the command line now, will she? Everything can be done using magical points-n-clicks.
Fedora Core 4 Test 3 was loaded on the Mac Mini today. It seems to be a lot faster than my snapshot of the 20050504 tree, so I’m guessing (because I have had no time to debug) something was very wrong earlier. 256MB of RAM makes GNOME usable again. Installer doesn’t detect X resolution properly, but did earlier - weird.
Retail therapy always helps right? So today, I went out and bought a bike. And a helmet. And a pump. Need to find a water bottle holder thing, and a mount for my GPS (I have one about 8000km away from here!), but took the thing for a spin today for a couple of hours. Came back because of a flat tire… C’est la vie.

What advantage does running Fedora (or linux in general) on a Mac offer over running it on a PC?

Its simply cooler. It runs on older Macs better than Tiger possibly would. Its a familiar environment
