The irritation with Newness

Sometimes what is new in one's life can irritate like hell for the time the newness lasts. Especially if the thing that is new is a replacement for a well known and comfortable pattern or tool.

Such is the way the SuSE Linux distribution is having with me. Irritations abound. However, by necessity, I have started learning the ins and outs, the default behaviors and the configuration system to control the default behaviors.

Slowly, as I figure more and more things out, the more I actually like SuSE. It has the same limitations as most of the distributions.

( Wish List )

There are other wish list stuff, but this will do for a start.

Wanting, not wanting, getting and not getting

There is a certain order in which these things work well. All the other combinations are problematic.

( Listening to all the words )

The big switch

I've spent the last couple of hours exploring gnome desktop again. I switched ti KDE quite awhile ago and I wanted to see what gnome had come up with when they switched to 2.0.

Good-bye KDE.

Gnome has a couple of very nice features that make it my desktop of choice now.

And I have given up on galeon. sigh. I am hoping they get their old functionality back into their new browser. Mozilla is almost as nice as galeon was. Almost. Far better than galeon is now, though.

Anyway, time to clean my body and take it to a cast meeting.
