I've had a wee bit of a temper tantrum at a computer this week. Not my computer, I hasten to add.  My computer, Spot, is mild mannered and very well behaved.  No, this is a new, gleaming, bright and glorious Dell. . . . which is running Microsoft Vista.

 Yeah. So never upgrading to Vista. Partitioned harddrives, here I come.

I'm afraid I've had such a temper tantrum, that Spot is currently running Linux off a flashdrive.  We may have a few teething problems along the way -- I've only just managed to work out the internet settings and I still find myself completely unable to access all my files on the main harddrive -- but I predict that Linux and I will get along well.
It lets me control my own machine and that is always a bonus.

Also: sooo shiny!
