So as a hobby, I’ve begun trying to get Debian linux working on my computer. I got together with Charlie and Brent yesterday and have been screwing with this since. I can see why Linux isn’t widespread. Installing it and getting it configured is not easy.
Right now I’m working on getting the graphical interface working. Of course the drivers for my video card aren’t included on the installation CD, so I have to download them. And when I try to install them, it can’t find the source code for my kernel. I don’t remember having the option to install that….good thing this is just a hobby. Although I will say that I’ve learned a lot just in the short time I’ve been working on it. I’ll keep pluggin away at it.
