FLASH: Might be offline in the evenings...

[Warren 'The Howdy Man' Ockrassa]

...for a while.


Not that anyone asked, of course.


But my home system is basically begging to be liberated from the

shackles of Redmond-generated architecture, which means that I at least

have to dualboot between NT and a *real* OS, read Linux.


'Course I have to install said OS, and do it in such a way so as not to

compomise existing filesystem structure. I have done Linux installs

before and have a realistic idea how long this will take. If it were a

fresh system it'd be less time than it takes to W95 a drive, or about 45

minutes. Since this has to coexist with an NT system, though, things are

yea more delicate. (Thanks, Bill, you mumble mumble mumble)


What this means is that for the next several days my evening replies may

not happen. From about 18:00 on, Central Daylight US time, I will

probably not be online as I fuss and cuss and hack the new install.


Not many of you might really care, but some will, which is of course why

I am sending this along. (This is sent to plural recipients, obviously.)


What's nice is that once the install's done, the theory is that updates

are ever so much less painful.


So hopefully briefly I wish you nightside wayfarers a godspeed and note

this will have *no* effect on nightwares content at all.
