Maybe some people noticed it or maybe I told some people about this (even when they didn't want to hear about it ;) ). I bought tuxv.net :D
Yesterday was a good day to me :) the Computer which was damaged by the lightening a few weeks ago was fixed, and now I'm installing arch linux on it. Installing arch linux can be a time consuming task ( I've gone temporarily deaf, and can't hear what gentoo users are saying ).
But you can always enjoy the installation process. For me it's connecting to my bro's computer via ssh and having a random chat with some people via centerim, and hanging out in IRC rooms with irssi. Oh and playing random songs from my bro's computer, which pisses him off :P.. and shouldn't forget ejecting the CD tray.
Oh and my emai address changed too it's
now, hope all the humans who read this blog sends me their comments about what they think about this blog ;) oh.. and don't forget that because I'm using google apps for that email, it's also my shiny new Jabber/XMPP/GTalk account. I'm thinking of adding a reddit button to all the posts as well ;) so y'all who use reddit can help me spread my thoughts around the globe too.
Back to installing arch issue, I got into some problems with GRUB (GRUB doesn't like me very much :S ) so I had to boot into my newly installed not-so-shiny new arch box using the live CD. It's not much of a deal, but I'd prefer using the plain ol' GRUB to boot into it.
Just in case you were wondering how to do it, at the boot prompt type
your root partition may be different.. so use the necessary name in the place of /dev/sda2.
I'll be posting another post , as soon as I get the other computer working swiftly with arch, until then Good Bye.

sorry i couldn't just keep shut, installing arch is MUCH faster than Gentoo! :P
yeah, it is MUCH faster than installing Gentoo :P I'm compiling firefox3 now, and it's taking such a long time.. that I can't imagin how those Gentoo users manage to sit/sleep/do-some-thing-else through the installation process. I mean.. they have to compile the whole damn system. Anyway that's why I prefer Arch, it's time efficient.
ado, how much was the domain name?
gentoo rox... ;)
how ever i'm surprised that grub isn't working smoothly!
there are several causes,but sometime there are
mysterious problems(i don't know reasons).
However grub works very fine unless u mess up menu.lst or conf files
