I’ve had quite a busy week as i had to go to uni on monday and then had a job interview tuesday and its the last week before people go off to uni so a last chance to see some friends for a while. I’m still no further forward with my test machine’s problems. It seems ubuntu is not suitable for the job at all. I’m probably going to decide on and buy a monitor for the machine in the next few days and it will become my main box, probably likely running slackware because slackware is not plauged by broken software. I cannot believe that a modern linux distribution would have trouble staying awake on an AMD 64 X2 that is brand new.
