I Should Write A Book...

Yet Another Blogilo Test

Using blogilo 1.0.1, in KDE 4.5.2, running on PCLinuxOS.

Only apparent drawback to this program so far is that it doesn't pull in my already defined tags. Hopefully a later version will.

Back to PCLinuxOS

"As you may have heard, the future of the Mandriva Linux distribution is unclear.

Most employees working on the distribution were laid off when Edge-IT was liquidated. We do not trust the plans of Mandriva SA anymore and we don't think the company (or any company) is a safe host for such a project."

Well, all-righty then.

I really don't feel like using a distro that is apparently soon-to-be-dead, so I've jumped the Mandrake/Mandriva ship again. And I'm back to PCLinuxOS. I've always liked the rolling release concept, vs the distinct versions and the obligatory version disaster^H^H^H upgrades. There's no 64-bit, but since you really only need that in order to access 4G of memory or more, it's not that big of a deal right now. Also, PCLOS has kernels that can indeed access much more than 4G of RAM while still being a 32-bit system.

So I'm good for now.

MakeMKV on PCLinuxOS

Well....goodbye Mandriva. Back to good ol' PCLOS. 32-bit, but I only have 3G RAM anyways. So now I need to build MakeMKV again.

Need to install these:

• make
• glibc
• glibc-devel
• libopenssl
• libopenssl-devel
• zlib
• zlib1-devel
• libqt4-devel
• automoc4
• libmesagl1-devel
• gcc-c++
• libexpat1-dev

And....we're back.
