mercedo's Journal: Linux

On the 10th of May I got a laptop personal computer from one of Japanese slashdotters -patagon. He lives in the same area.

I started using the computer. Linux was installed in it.

I understand I don't understand Linux. I started learning basic commands, etc.

My exploration to the unknown field has just started.

Try your guts!

Good luck! I can remember those halcyon days of late 2004 when I was taking my first steps in Linux. I kind of miss the ignorance, for some reason.

I've come close to giving up on it a few times, but the rewards for sticking at it have been way more than I could have expected.

My laptop I usually use was made in 1998. I got it from some other source for nothing in January last year. My laptop was shutdown for unknown reasons for two weeks from 15th of May to 31st of May last year, but except for this mechanical failure, this one has been working quite well. My main objective to use computer is keep a journal, make a comment, write a thesis, etc. I am not well versed in computer at all.

The one I got will work as an alternative to my current one. I will start learning how to opera
