Some reasons for GNU/Linux happiness:

  • Running Debian woody, nice stable system.
  • apt-get makes installing what I want easy.
  • Tracking sid version of mozilla is pretty neat (see
    /etc/apt/preferences)
  • My conexant modem now has a dual binary/source implementation of a
    module which lets me connect from
    home
    to the Net.
  • Now that I’ve killed Nautilus, I’ve actually got plenty of memory to
    run things quickly on my laptop.
  • apt source for Java 1.3.1_FCS is useful… especially now that I’m going
    to mess around a bit with JBoss.
  • ACPI patches
    make my laptop work acceptably, and it even goes into passive cooling mode
    when the temperature reaches 85 degrees! Oooh I see there’s a new release
    out with “sleep improvements”. I hope it fixes my problem -
    “echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep” causes an immediate hang.
