Extreme Linux Installing... well kind of
Greetings once again one and all, in the last post I mentioned how I'd recently found myself installing Linux whilst sat in the bar of a ferry crossing the Irish Sea. I have to say it's got to be the most exotic place I've ever installed Linux, so I thought I'd elaborate a little on an adventure in open source of an all together different nature.
I went over to the Isle of Man for a friends wedding and took my Dell m1330n laptop with me which runs Ubuntu Gutsy. I used it a lot while I was there and it was running well but I wanted to reinstall the OS for some reason, I can't remember exactly why now but I suspect boredom was high on the list. For some reason I decided the ferry ride home would be the perfect time to do this. Maybe I'd been out in the sun too long. However, with a fully charged battery and a crazed look in my eye I boarded the vessel abd took residence in the bar.
I sat at a table looking out of the back window at the passing sea while the installation went through. It was a pretty funny scene as the place was full of drunken students who'd been at some athletics meeting on the island. I felt a bit out of place really, no because of the drinking and partying of course I'm right at home with that but athletics??!!! Come off it man, you can leave me out of that, I'll just keep the bar warm while you run up and down the beach in the rain thanks very much
