I'm crazy

I'm crazy. Or a glutton for punishment. Or something. I just formatted and repartitioned my laptop. Right now RedHat Linux 7.2 is installing on it, and after that I'll reinstall Windows XP and throw System Commander on to manage the whole shebang.

What would make me want to do this? Well for one, I can't seem to get access to our test PC at work, so to get familiar with the new version of System Commander I put it on my laptop. Having that manage one operating system is really pointless, so I got the idea to put Linux on it. I've been to various sites about running Linux on laptops and there are pretty good instructions and caveots out there. Much better and friendlier than the ones for putting Linux on a desktop.

I was also fed up with how poorly Windows was running on my laptop. I'm not sure what exactly the problem was, but performance was absolutly horrable. It'd hang for a second as I was trying to do anything. Move the mouse around, watch a video, type, whatever. So a reinstall was necessary.

And pretty soon I'll be off to Shelby Farms for a pic-a-nic and Ultamate Frisbee. w00t!

Well, I get linux on my laptop and I think my partition got corrupted. The good news is that I know that the install is smooth and I'll be able to do another install (hopefully) without problems.
But not I have issues with people fighting in my Direct Connect hub. And they're other Ops in the hub. I hate dealing with things like this, but it kinda comes with the job i guess.

Hrm...so I've completely formatted my drive a couple more times and think I've got it this time. For some reason I was going to have Windows XP on a FAT32 partition instead of an NTFS one and that was messing me up. Of course I'm also tired and sunburnt, so that's affected my mental processes as well.
Yep, I'm sunburnt. I actually ventured outside into the real world today and played some Ultamate Frisbee at Shelby Farms. I should have brought some sunscreen, but I forgot. My sunburn is all over since I had on shorts and sandels. The tops of my feet, my legs, my neck, my arms, my face...all burnt. It's not as bad as some I've had, but still annoying. It's pretty much bedtime now, so I'll be logging off soon. *yawn*
