Nerd with a dilemma

So I am looking at the recent news of my two favorite and most used Linux distributions. Suse Linux now OpenSuse, though I still prefer the retail version personally, and Fedora Core by the nice folks at Red Hat.

Well it seems they are having similar time-tables on releases.

OpenSuse 10.2/Fedora Core 6.

Though obviously at this point it appears that the folks at the Fedora Core camp will have a viable product for the end user out sooner.

Unfortunately for me I have two problems. I hope they have since been fixed, both previous releases OpenSuse10.1 (and Suse Linux 10.1 Retail) and Fedora Core 5 didn't fully support my motherboard specifically, my Ethernet port, and further at the time, to know fault of other of these two distributions, Nvidia's drivers also didn't support my video card. So I was stuck at a lousy resolution with 8 bits of color and had to use a flash drive to get drivers to attempt to fix the problems I was having. However after it all, I still couldn't get it to work completely. So I was stuck going back to Windows.

Though I have to say both times I used the 64 bit versions of these operating systems. As I have been told a few times Fedora Core 5 in the 32 bit mode probably would've worked, but I have never tried it. Same with OpenSuse or the retail versions of Suse Linux. I could probably give them a try, and I may, but I'd really rather wait for the new releases to be released.

So I guess this brings me to my question which is what this blog entry is all about. Which one should I go for? If I knew someone else who at least had that my motherboard and used Linux maybe I could figure something out.

Oh well enough with these pointless problems. Until I find something conclusive I'll be using that blasted Microsoft Windows XP. And more so I can assure you this, I'll only be using it until they discontinue support sometime in the future. With all this talk about DRM and other such nasty things I am totally and completely against, no questions asked, I have no intention of getting future versions.

I'll be making a total Linux switch. Even if that alienates me from being able to play newer games or other things. By the way that last link was a joke if you didn't catch that.

Aren't I a sorry SOB?

Well next Thursday I go and get my wisdom teeth removed. ALL FOUR OF THEM!!

Boy, stupid crap.

Oh well.

I am sure all will be well, or at least I hope it will.

It makes one wonder

It makes one wonder.
Does it Not?
To See the differents things!
The different things I've seen?
Yes.

They were so varied once!
And now?
They were so varied once.
I see.

I used to know them all by heart!
And now?
I used to know them all by heart.
Oh.

What happened to the varied things?
I don't know.
Really, but you knew them once?
By heart!
And now you know them no more?
Alas.

This is a good song

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Blue Moves

What have I got to do to make you love me What have I got to do to make you care What do I do when lightning strikes me And I wake to find that you're not there What do I do to make you want me What have I got to do to be heard What do I say when it's all over And sorry seems to be the hardest word It's sad, so sad It's a sad, sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over Oh it seems to me That sorry seems to be the hardest word What do I do to make you love me What have I got to do to be heard What do I do when lightning strikes me What have I got to do What have I got to do When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Waiting and waitining and waiting and waitining and ...waitng

Not much longer now.

Yay!!

It is getting closer and closer.

So apparently I can't do anything right

I guess no matter what I can't say the right thing, do the right thing, or think the right thing.

I guess there is just something wrong with me. Maybe I should keep everything to myself from now. I wouldn't upset anyone that way.

I don't know, I just try to say what's on my mind and then people get upset. I am sorry if I have an opinion on something. Forgive me for having the ability to think for myself and not having the tact to keep things to myself.

I tell people what I think. Even if they don't want to hear what I think, especially if they don't want to hear what I think. I am sorry, I truly am, if that upsets people. It is never my intention to hurt anyone.

I guess I should just train myself to not be compassionate or care about other people and just become a sadist. Perhaps even a little crazy and kill people. Does that sound like a good idea? No? I didn't think so either.

Just remember this, everyone has an opinion on everything. So why don't we just all realise an opinion is just than an opinion. It isn't a fact in a history book or a financial statement. It is what something thinks about a subject when they only have so much information to work with, but decide to form an opinion on something anyway.

I am sorry for being a person.
