I have a couple of busy weekend coming up, this weekend off to Southampton to see the The Guillemots live in concert, then the following weekend off to the new Wembley to see the The Foo Fighters
The Guillemots remind me a lot of some of early Deacon Blue tracks, especially the Las Vegas album, whereas the the Fpo’s are quite new to me, but should be a cracking stadium concert.
After almost 8 years sterling service, my old P3 500 expired earlier back in February, forcing a impromtu upgrade. I have taken the opportunity to update the OS to the latest FreeBSD release (7.0) and moved the box from the garage into the study, where it also runs KDE for standard desktop tasks.
The box now runs smoothly on a Duron 1.3Ghz, with 1Gb of RAM and a Nv 5500 G-card, so still pretty low spec to todays standard of dual or quad core, but as most tasks are achieved via the CLI, rather than the fancy KDE GUI, then most tasks still zip along.
I hope to publish my re-installation hints, tips and woes at a later stage.
