Summer Break Starts With a Bang

Yup, yup. I've been quite productive lately. In the past two days, I have managed to:

-- Completely upgrade both the file server and the gateway.
-- Almost completely upgrade Jason's Debian install.
-- Tear apart Derek's computer, upgrade half the parts, coax his Win98 install through the motherboard, CPU, harddrive, sound card, video card, and NIC changes.
-- Install Debian with a dual-boot setup on Derek's computer.

For the record, after I changed all that hardware in Derek's computer, it took at least 7 reboots for Windows 98 to recognize, categorize, and write everything down in its Secret Little Black Book. I could have done the same in Linux with only one reboot after copying over the harddrive. Have I ever mentioned that I hate Windows?

But Debian and apt-get are truly wonderful.
