A little place of calm

Photodiary: making computers

It started with two empty boxes and a lot of bits:

Mainboard with processor and heatsink:

This is me – yes me! – making my own computer!! We're all too excited to be able to hold the camera still, LOL!

Comparing to make sure we'd both done it the same:

Memory in:

Hard drive and DVD drive in, everything hooked up:

And – OH MY GOSH!! – it works!!

Two finished twin computers:

Up and running!

And since Mandriva didn't like the hard drive, i thought i'd try Debian:

Thanks Becky!! :D

The first thing that i did when Debian started up was to look for KDE, but when i didn't find it within five minutes i just decided to stick with GNOME. And you know what, it's not too bad! :)

That's an excellent job!

I've got a laptop that's running Mint 3.0 now - and it's lovely - a Debian version - and it goes like a dream. The best bit of all though is that the kernel's got the required bits in there to allow VM access to the USB ports and that's a godsend.

You'll have to show off your new pet to me at some stage!

PS - I'm still a philistine - can't get on with Gnome so I'm still running KDE
