The Linux thread

I was bored one day so I just partitioned off five gigs on my old laptop and installed Slackware on it and had myself a nice dual-booting box. I managed to get it to run, but I had no idea what the hell I was doing so I kind of gave up on it after a while since I couldn't do much with it. Sometime later, I installed ArchLinux onto that partition, and with their package manager (pacman), things got a LOT easier. So I actually only ran Arch for almost a year. After that I had to go to college, and windows was pretty much required there so I switched back.

Unlike a lot of people that switch, I really do not mind using XP, so it was really easy for me to just drop linux and go back to windows (yeah I am rather strange). Linux was fun and I really liked the control I had everything, but it wasn't worth the hassle I would have to deal with to keep using it in college. I do intend to go back to it one day and try out Gentoo and/or Linux From Scratch though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
