Revolution has begun

Well with IT folks like yours truly, a revolution is beginning again!  An because of profiteering gullotons, that extort money for bad code and even worse tech support.  When there's free and open-source code, that's freely available and open for everyone!  One case in point Linux mint, which is a open-source operating system and it's free as in cost, an free as in speech.  I've been preaching the importance of open-source software for many moons.  An for various reasons, for one it encourages sharing and freedom of speech (which is very important to me), also if there's a problem; you're legally allowed to fix it without getting in trouble and you're legally allowed to modify the code to fit your needs.  An you're encouraged to share your modified code to anyone.  An I whole heartedly believe in a free and open society and that's what open-source software represents, freedom.  So in short support open-source software, because you support freedom, as in freedom of speech...

Dream desktop part deux

Ok here goes on what my dream desktop like as of now!  32 gigs of ram 2x4 terabyte hard-drives, 24 inch LED monitor nvidia graphics card with 4 gigs on that, LED case and mouse, CD/DVD rom, keyboard, 4 port v3 usb card (not to mention what's on the motherboard) built in WiFi, gigabyte nic card.  Doing a dual boot 4 terabytes running Linux Mint with cinnamon desktop and all the codecs 64 bit, the other 4 terabyte running ubuntu with xfce desktop doing the job of DNS; as well as a 1200 watt power supply unit  It's going to be a beast, I'm going to rock it like I own it.  Also I'm going to max out the ram and put a 1 terabyte solid-state hard-drive in my laptop, well that's about it for now so rock it like you own it.  Well everyone peace and keep on the sunny side..

Unix and Linux fun for all

Well I've been downloading ISO's and kernels, so far I've downloaded just about every Unix and Linux distribution I would need to do anything I would need to do.  I've even downloaded the Hurd kernel, which was supposed to be the original kernel for GNU operating system, but Linus Torvalds came in at just the right time and the rest is computer history.  But still going to load up a distribution that's currently running the Hurd kernel and see what I can find out.  Even downloaded the Hurd kernel by itself so if I like it; I'm going to use it!  But now I can say I'm ready to take on the world of computers and have some fun along the way with my new IT exploits.  Monday I'm going to get a updated Linux kernel and install it, it's always fun to do this, but I'm the preventable Steve Urkel.  But I can also say I'd like to do a bowl right now too.  Wish I could shut my mind off for a few hours, but no such luck, but I can also say it's a blessing and a curse.  It's gotten me in and out of trouble many times.  But on another note, I'm ready for Easter, but I can't help but think of my mom on Easter, it was her favorite holiday.  An I know her and my son are in heaven, looking down at me no matter what I am doing; I just hope I get where I'm going.  It's been a chaotic time for me recently, but I'm happy for that and I'm enjoying it while it lasts.  Because bad times will come; but thing's do get better; but just takes time.  An like sand through an hourglass there goes the day's of lives lol.  Anyway I'm out, IT monkey out lol...
