My First Experience With Linux

[ Dec 31, 1999 ]

Well, it is the day before.  The day of, actually.  As I write this it is 1:55 p.m. and I am about to go join Susan at Jason Ormes’s house. I took the big step and installed Redhat 6.1 yesterday.  It was a disappointment though.  I can’t believe it let me down.  It is not running right, taking like 5 minutes to boot and giving me incredible delays when I try to boot up. 

I don’t know what the problem is but I am not to impressed by the ‘end all be all’ OS that won’t even run right on a textbook machine that runs ‘inferior’ windows just fine.  But I am not giving up on it.  I am going to master it as soon as I get this problem figured out.  Going to get a book on it.  That’s it for now.  Gotta go.
