Umpteenth time’s the charm

As of yesterday, the two old PCs I’ve been storing can do more than stop doors. I finally installed Linux on them…successfully; a feat I’ve been attempting (off and on) for, well, years. All previous attempts were halted by some retarded complication (i.e. the BIOS wouldn’t allow booting from a CD, old video cards were not supported, incorrect hard drive partitioning, incompatible motherboard architectures, etc.). Until yesterday, I’d run into a complication, throw up my fists, swear up and down, decide I had been defeated and pack the shits back up in my closet. Now that I’ve got some more computing power at my disposal there are a few chaotic systems I’ll have them simulate…for days, weeks, even months if need be. What are they going to do? Complain? We’ll see if Linux really is as stable as its developers claim.
