Just a few hours to go.. Trying Linux yet again..

It's after 2:30 in the morning and I should try to sleep, but I can't. We have to be at the hospital in three and a half hours. Deb's Mom is here, we picked her up from Bradley tonight. Her flight was delayed an hour, but it was quiet and peaceful in the airport. The chairs there were actually comfortable. Everyone at Deb's work (when I stopped in to buy pancake stuff) was very interested in our situation, more so than some close friends. I can't say that about Chris or Sandy, both of them have been calling and getting regular updates. Some friends (won't mention any names) just don't have time to put into a friendship. If we don't ever talk, we're not very close friends at all. Once again I'm trying out Linux and besides a few quirks I think I've found a keeper. Yeah, I know I say that a lot and only time will tell (usually a week?), but we'll see. I'd like to dual-boot and never touch Windoze unless absolutely necessary. Now don't get me wrong, I'm no Linux geek at all. I want a functional desktop operating system. Until now I've yet to find that on Linux. What I'm using now is a freely distributed version of Xandros Linux 2.01. Even after getting some new hardware in our system and achieving what we thought was flawless stability, Windoze has continued to baffle us with random errors and blue screens. Every day I swear off Windoze and shortly after I find a reason to go back, it's like a drug addiction but I don't like it at all. :) Until tomorrow.. --------
