waveclaw's Journal: Death o'the Windows Machine

Well..the ol' gamming box went tits up the weekend. When the fan died, the fan-detecting power supply quit. Since that little transformer box is pratically welded shut, I'm not getting in there without some major case-damage. Since there are no PC clone vendors in 50 miles of my apartment, I'm gonna be SOL for a while.

On the plus side I am now using Linux (RedHat 8.0, 166 Pentium, 64 MB RAM, 1.2Gb HD, Matrix Mystique video) pretty much full time now. I didn't want to put much on my 'home development' server, but ol' AutobotMatrix seems to be holding her own. Too bad I can't use my USB keyboard with this old AT motherboard. My old 108-key has a bad spacebar (try doing cli with no spaces!)

While the X11 and gnome fonts look like crap on my monitor, it has made web development a lot easier.
