While several of my colleagues and students are having a great time fighting viruses and malware or trying to get their mainstream, highly-reputed systems to work again, both my mutant penta-boot netbook and my grotesque hepta-boot desktop have been working fine. Thus, more out of boredom than for any other reason, I decided to check for and install their corresponding updates. Since it had been a few months since my last update, I thought things could get complicated and thus I could join my colleagues' frustration...let's see:
A- My penta-boot netbook:
1. Mepis 8.0 (main OS): it is up to date.
2. Mepis 11: 17 packages needed to be updated...nothing bad happened after the update.
3. Mandriva One 2010 Spring: 5 packages needed to be updated...no issues after installing them.
4. Pardus 2010: Up to date.
5. Windows XP: I don't boot it anymore, so no need to update it.
B- My hepta-boot desktop:
1. Mepis 8.0 (main OS): it is up to date.
2. Mepis 11: 17 packages needed to be updated...everything went smoothly with the updates.
3. Mandriva One 2010 Spring: 5 packages needed to be updated...no problems after the installation.
4. Pardus 2010: Up to date.
5. AntiX m11: Up to date.
6. MiniNo: Up to date.
7. Windows XP: Same as with my netbook.
OK, no luck! My multi-headed computers are updated and running normally...hehe! That didn't help me with my boredom but it's much better to be bored this way!
seems like you were bored indeed haha! why not try out xfce in one of your boots? I have been trying to get my Xubuntu to load compiz at startup with a script but still no luck... >|P
ResponderEliminarYeah, to kill some boredom, I removed firefox 4 and installed firefox 5 in Mandriva 2010.2 expecting something to break...so far, nothing! Actually, my web browsing is faster now :-( Darn!
ResponderEliminarTry updating Windows XP. That will provide you with a whole lot of fun! ;-)
ResponderEliminar@ Vanargand,
ResponderEliminarI'd like to have both a xfce and an E-17 distro, but that will be for the future.
@ Mechatotoro,
Yeah, that could keep me busy for a while. :P
