It's Alive!!

I had a breakthrough on the weekend and was finally able to install yellowdog 3 on a Mac powerpc 5400!

The problem I had was that the drive was too small. I got my hands on an old drive I had that I forgot about - a 2.3 gig drive onto which I put a 150 meg Mac os partition (8.5) and set up the rest for yellowdog.

Once I did that it installed like a breeze! It took about 6 hours from finding and installing the drive to completing the install and package updates. Now I have a running linux server on a mac.

Gotta love Gmail

And it is - I started at 2053 megs and now its at 2098 megs. It seems to grow with each email I get. I'm not complaining - in fact I like it. goodbye Hotmail!!

In fact I believe that I am trailer trash. Not only that I'm proud to admit it. You see, to me "trailer trash" represents a person (or group of people) who just don't give a shit what anyone else thinks of them. It has nothing to do with the fact that they may or may not live in a mobile home, it has more to do with an attitude, in my opinion. For example, in the city where I live, lots of people are more concerned with keeping up with their neighbours, or what their friends think of them than should be. I've lived my life these past few years just how I want to. I don't care what others think about me or how I live my life. And we've tried to instil that into our son - that he be more concerned with how he feels and not what others think. Because let...
