SAIGONNEZUMIOddly enough, I miss the Linux desktop
Despite my recent positive article over a week ago about using the Macbook Pro, I have started to miss running a Linux desktop. I know some are going to hate hearing this, especially Mac users, but my Linux desktops/laptops always ran faster then my current Macbook Pro. I got used to 20 second or less bootups especially with Arch Linux and Ubuntu Linux. With my Macbook Pro, I know I can just close the lid to let it hibernate but at least three times, I found my Mac locking up after I opened the lid again. This means rebooting my Macbook, since upgrading Lion OSX, this can take a long time. Just a minor issue but I never had this with my Linux desktop. I just shut it down after each use. I was never a fan of hibernating in Linux. :-)
Since I still have my quad-core desktop sitting next to my desk, I figured it may be time to get it running again. It still has issues but overall it runs fine. I miss Gentoo Linux as well but I do not have the time to maintain it. Arch Linux is great. I can run Ubuntu but I rather keep that in my Macbook Pro where I can run it inside of VirtualBox.
Lets see where I go with this...
