Distro Hopping

Seeing as I have my configs pretty much split between O/S and Data, I am evaluating different Linuxes as there are a number of new versions floating around.

In the last month I have looked at

openSUSE 11.2 RC1

Currently running Mandriva.

Despite previous expectations being high, Kubuntu is a distant 3rd to the other 2 in my opinion.

Waiting for new version of Linux Mint. but might get brave and attempt Arch Linux next. Still feeling a bit chicken though...

The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t...

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...
