It is 04.30 on Easter Sunday and Dandy and I are downstairs.<\/p>\n
I’m not too sure why Dandy is (unless it’s because of his FOMO), but I am here because I have a cold.<\/p>\n
It’s not manflu, it’s just a cold.<\/p>\n
But the associated nasal flow means being horizontal right now is not exactly a great idea.<\/p>\n
So I’m up.<\/p>\n
With a bogroll on one side, and a loudly purring catten on the other.<\/p>\n
*honks nose into strip of bogroll*<\/p>\n
*Dandy looks unamused but continues\u200b to purr*<\/p>\n
I’m thinking of playing with a new tech project.<\/p>\n
Taking an old but reasonable spec laptop, wiping it, installing Linux, putting some Office-y apps on, and using that as my main home computer.<\/p>\n
Pretty straightforward, except I can’t decide which flavour of Linux to go for.<\/p>\n
The host operating systems in the datacentre, after a couple of shots of prototyping and a massive flirtation with Centos, were built with Debian.<\/p>\n
KX Studio<\/a> looks very interesting, but as you might guess from the name, it was developed for a different purpose, and not as an Office platform. Maybe KX Studio is a different project for the future?<\/p>\n
