A Minor Upgrade
Posted by karthiksn
Though the upgrade is very big to me it might be small to everyone. Anyone who has read my blog might know that my Dad was not at all in favour of upgrading my system and i tried to convince him but it neve worked but atlast I made him to get me a new hard disk. Now I have total of 120 GB space on my computer with lots of uses for it. This is a big major upgrade for me as I will be installing Linux on my 40 GB hard Disk and will learn how to be free. I am currently in discussion with my friends at thinkdigit forums on how and what on linux. So this my one of the rare personals bye.
Update: Dad just bought a new Optical mouse and it seemss to be working fine

Cool, that’s enough space for sometime. I’ll be getting the 1TB HD next.
And don’t waste a 40 GB partition for linux.
Do give us your linux xp though. I’d like to kow what happened with screenshots.
Until ap 15, I’m stuck with P3, Windows 98. LOL!

If you’re gonna try out linux, get mepis or pclinuxos. Ubuntu and fedora both default with gnome, while mepis and pclinuxos defaults with kde. IMO, kde makes a beginners experience a lot better.
March 20th, 2006 at 7:55 pm
Actually I favour Gnome dunoo why but it seems much more goodie goodie to me. Anyways I have plan of changing the default window manager of Fedora to KDE and will do it after getting the neccesary advise from DW and yeah LaX thanks for suggestion.
Man my minor upgrade gives so many comments i dont know what will happen to comment page when i have a major upgrade
