You Jerks!

At least one of you could have consoled me!

I feel so hurt, emotionally!

Living As a Dead Man

 I never knew what loneliness was like before. I simply never cared if anyone would be with me or not. I even scoffed at those who were lonely themselves.
 But what a fool I am now.
 Living in that odd state of unknown emotion. Perhaps it's not emotion, but the complete lack of emotion. The lack of proof of love. I see the lack of the person who I had loved so much. The person whom I thought that I could have spent the rest of my life with; this is a thought that I maintain, thinking I could somehow start again. I can't find anything to fill the burning void left behind. I can only listen to songs. They open the wounds, but I feel that they still heal that pittiful wound.

 Now, as silly as this sounds, I'll date the first person who asks me. No matter what sex that person is. I only care if you can love me.

OS Battle for Werkzeug - Finale.

 Most losers with computers haven't tried any other operating system than Windows. The learned are those who have looked at Linux, without even learning how to use it. I, on the other hand, have tried about every different OS that there is to try. Windows, Linux, AmigaOS, MacOS, BeOS, BSD, VMS, Haiku, AROS, AtheOS, and even Plan9.


Now, some of you may remember that I was trying to figure out what OS I would use to replace Ubuntu on my desktop. (The archiving features of the blog are great, aren't they?)
Well, That never happened. It stayed on my desktop untill the day it died and was replaced by MegaLupis, currently active as my server.
Now, thanks to the wondrous charity of my sister, I now have a new desktop computer, now named Werkzeug. It's much nicer now, with double the memory and clockspeed, with extra CPU features and a faster FSB to boot! The only probem is, what operating system do I put on it?
 As I've said before, I've fallen out of love with Ubuntu. It's dropping support rapidly, and worse, Firefox hasn't been updated in ages! So I had a choice of different operating systems to choose from. The main choices I had were AROS, Haiku, Linux of some other distrobution, and the winner, which I'll tell you about later.

 I'll make this easy on you, and shorten the story. AROS is too unstable, has no applications, and no support; Haiku doesn't even have an installer (although through virtual machines, it looked hella awesome!), and I really didn't want another Linux distrobution — I have too many Ubuntu CDs in my desk as it is.
 So I found Syllable. It's a fork of AtheOS. I figured if someone wanted to use a completely Open-sourced original operating system in the feild of desktop environment as well as Kernel(!(!!!)), there must be something special about it!

 Syllable's installation starts off by starting a stripped-down graphical user environment with a window running Aterm, the (surprise!) terminal emulator, which automatically runs the install script. It asked for the usual junk: Partitioning, formatting, and bootloader setup. The only interesting things notable about the install was that editing the partitions and the bootloader menu gave graphical applications.
 Although the installation process was insanely easy, I still have no idea how I got it to work. The bootloader is a specialized version of GRUB, so why was I having such a hard time installing it? Eventually, I somehow made it work.

 I'm absorbed in Naruto and pizza at the moment, so I'll just say "To be continued..." and write a sequel later.
