Journal: So...first post?

So, I tried installing gentoo on my main machine a little while back. I wanted to dual boot gentoo and winxp. Gentoo is really cool because it is a source based distribution and has nothing to do with rpm. It installed just fine with the compilations of gcc and glibc and all the others going just fine. However, I couldn't get grub to work so I couldn't boot into my new os to continue setting up kde3 and gnome2 and x4.2. So, I'm falling back on the old trusty mandrake because I don't have linux on my desktop right now and becuase the new 9.0beta2 comes with kde3 and gnome2 and x4.2. We'll see how it goes. I'm just going to post ramblings about computers in this journal because I feel like I rarely have anyone to talk to about these kind of things. So, why not write to myself...but, a me from the future. :o)
