Yet again Linux is fucking me off royally. A few weeks ago I managed to finally build the driver for my onboard network adapter, and finally got online. Kubuntu went and updated everything, in much the same way Windows does. Except it upgraded the kernel so my network driver no longer works. And in trying to rebuild it, it fails, because it can't access certain code files which probably aren't on my system.

I was going to save the error messages and log into Windows so that I could post a request for help online, but my Windows drives are all formatted with NTFS, which means Kubuntu can't write anything to them. This pretty much makes having Linux useless to me unless I can figure a convenient way of converting the drive from NTFS to FAT32, or installing the slightly dodgy stuff for Ubuntu that makes NTFS writable. What a load of shit. But even then I still won't have a working net connection until I figure all the rest out.

Yes, I'm being a bit unreasonable, because I'm angry. I just wanted to do some coding but now I can't. The sad thing is that some people enjoy this kind of crap. I just want to use the damn computer, not reconstruct it.

Man, I thought I was better than that. I was wrong.

Ubuntu/Kubuntu are doing well, but it's baby steps at the moment.

If you fancy asking Wolfpaw to shift Abattoir's hosting onto MacOS, I'll get a Mac at home. Until then, I'm stuck with Linux. :)

I think you need another computer, a pure 'nix box for that stuff. Possibly even mounted in a rack case for awesome style points!

A while ago, I suggested to the Girl that I should definitely purchase a server cabinet I found for ONLY $50, and that it would only take up a little bit of space in the bedroom...

But, she made her lips go thin and frowny, and I thought better of it. :(
