I’ve finally found the time/hardware to put together a working Linux box. I downloaded a copy of Ubuntu Linux on an old machine of mine, and it runs quite well for being stuck on a 600mHz Duron with only 256MB of RAM. Granted, I’m not doing much to stress the hardware, but there’s no way you’d get Windows XP running on a box with those specs and have it be at all responsive.
Ubuntu is pretty slick, and the install process was exceptionally painless, especially in comparison to my old days of manually selecting hardware with the old Debian installer.
Of course, that also means that I can start working on BloGTK again (which works out of the box in Ubuntu, BTW). I’ve promised support for the Atom API for some time now, and I believe that I can deliver on that promise relatively soon.
Now, back to geeking out with Linux before watching the Stargate Atlantis marathon on Sci-Fi — and yes, I know, I’m a complete and utter nerd…
UPDATE: Oh, and before I forget, BloGTK works just great with the latest version of WordPress – this entry was posted with it…
