Haven't been good with this thing, have I?

Sorry, for the one confirmed reader of my blog I haven't update this thing more often. Here's what I have been up to lately:
  • Gentoo Linux on a Pentium? Yes! I built the system on my main computer, a 2.8 GHz, now with 2.5 GB RAM, mainly because I'm not that much of a masochist. Unfortunately, I fubared the kernel and I am rebuilding it. I did not enable xfs support. I had Ubuntu on these boxes, but the amount of bloat (i.e. unnecessary packages like Bluetooth support) made me switch to Gentoo. Since hard disk space, RAM and processor speed is very limited, I have more value (i.e. things I want vs. things I don't need) per byte with Gentoo.
  • I acquired a beige PowerMac G3. Trying to get anything other than MacOS to boot on the thing is a pain.
  • Hard disk failure. Looks like my attempts to revive a disk on one of my workhorse boxes, even using the disks low level utilities. I'm going to have to do some swapping and an OS rebuild.
