I hate my computer!

My stupid Gentoo (a linux operating system) is totally stalled. I’m tempted to shut down and start over- but it is SOOOO close to being finished- but it has been on “complining Kernel” forever! (besides, it allways fails here and I’ve yet to figure out why)

I don’t want a Mac, it is too much like Windows- all money and no control.

Ah but the hardware is nice. I mean, 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo, 160GB 7200RPM disk and a nice 4GB of RAM. Tis not bad! For something I can carry in my bag.

I’m installing Gentoo- and It doesn’t seem frozen. It seems to be working. I’m not touching the computer. It is just being REALLY slow.

Ok- Hardware is awsome, yes sometimes I go to their website just to drool over the hardware.

But you can get that elsewhere (for a significant cut in price)
