Linux Fun
I have a second hard drive in my desktop that sits idle in my machine, not doing very much at all. Earlier this week, I decided to make use out of it by installing a copy of Ubuntu Linux on it with the help of mrBen. I am actually quite impressed; it has a nice, minimalist interface and seems to have some good programs. Once I get used to the way it works, I think I may find that I like it.
The only problem that I have found so far is that I don't appear to have any programs installed for ripping CD's, so I need to find something that can do that. Another minor problem is that I found that Windows XP no longer appears to recognise the existence of the hard drive I have installed Linux on and Linux doesn't appear to recognise my Windows hard drive, which is a bit of a pain.
Not wanting to stop with Ubuntu, I've also come across a website called Linux From Scratch, which provides a guide to enable you to build your own Linux distro from scratch. I think I've found a nice little project to do! Maybe it might take me a while to realise such grand ambitions...
