Started a new job.

Things have been in a flux.

I finally wiped Vista off my laptop. Just couldn't deal with it anymore. It simply sucked. Period.

I went with OpenSuse 11. There isn't much of a reason beyond my familiarity with Mandriva and Ubuntu, and wanting to try something new.

Beyond having to tinker with the wifi card (32-bit Atheros card put on a laptop with a 64-bit processor. o-k.) everything else was fine. I didn't even have to download the Nvidia driver for my xserver, as Suse handled the video resolution fine.

The one major thing I like about how Suse uses Gnome (my preference of desktop managers; I simply can't like KDE. I even installed 4.0; no good.). There's no bar at the top, ala OS X. Yeh, the taskbar is very Redmond-like, and the layout is kinda similar to Windows. So what.

All I know is that things are running just fine now thankyewverymuch without intrusion by *that* OS.

So there.
