On BigShell I'm running Gentoo Linux with KDE, and dual-booting Windows XP Home for high-end gaming (though Linux works fine for most emulators and it also has a huge selection of independent games).

I've also got Gentoo running on OuterHeaven which is a Powerbook G3 Lombard (1999). Found a nice, little window manager called wmi that lets you use the keyboard for everything, which is great because I hate using a trackpad.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

IMO, trying to run Windows programs in Linux, while very possible, is somewhat pointless. Many people have taken it upon themselves to write programs to allow them to do what could previously only be done in Windows. You'd be surprised just how many open-source programs do just what you're looking for.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Woo! It's Spring Break! I left my PC at school and am now running Tiger on my 400Mhz Macintosh G4. I can't wait until the Intel version of OS X is stable enough to install on my PC, because I definitely prefer it to Windows (although the Terminal leaves much to be desired).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

lol, of course not. I rarely, if ever, need to use DOS in Windows. But OS X's Terminal doesn't seem to read extended keys properly. I normally use Home and End to go the beginning and end of a line instead of the top and bottom of a document. Actually, you can set them to do that, but for some reason it doesn't work in vim. And then when you set it so it works in vim, it doesn't work on the command line. I'm sure there's a solution, but it's probably better to just get used to the default layout.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
