Comment e-books and wireless paper... (Score 1) 207

I bought into this whole e-book concept and bought an RCA ebook reader a couple of years ago. I still haven't found it useful enough for the initial purchase. Content is the biggest problem as well as cost. I could buy a paperback version of the ebook cheaper and I didn't have to pay $300 to see it.

I love the idea of ebook and epaper... but honestly it sounds like a lot of hype that'll take so long to get to market I'll be pumping books directly into my brain through a wireless link from my DIY mac! :-)

Journal Journal: Stupid RPM system... *sigh*

Can't live with it... can't live without it. I just found the problem with Apache... buried deep down in /var/www/manual/search/ there is a cgi that has a reference to /usr/local/bin/perl5 which is not installed on the system (RH9). So to recompile our copy of Apache I had to find this and correct it. Took me two hours to find this thing! I kept thinking it was an RPM problem... new RH system bug or what... then I find that. It all makes sense now though.

Journal Journal: gentoo linux

I'm in the process of installing gentoo linux for the first time. I'm thinking of using it so that all the unwanted garbage can be removed from the system. We'll see... more later.
