Linux anyone?

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

I was just sitting here admiring how well Linux works on my machine and wondered how many of you also use linux and which distro? I ran Red Hat Fedora core 3 for a while and then moved to FC4 and that was not an improvement. Ubuntu came out with the best (so far) in a “turn key” operating system and I am using the “Breezey Badger” release. Like it a lot, and any support I need I get from my son, Anton Olsen.

I would guess that most of you Swedes would be using this as Linus Torvalds, a “Finlandssvensk”, or Finlandssvenskar” Concieved of, and started this whole OS.
So, you using Linux? tried it? Like it? Hit that comment button at the bottom and let me know!

Hatch flanges

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

one hatch flange done and one in glue up. You can never have too many clamps no matter what your wife says. The flanges are looking pretty good, just need to sand off some of the bumps and give them a very thin coat of epoxy. I’m about ready to join the 2 halves, but need the studs for the foot braces first. That item slipped my mind for a while, but they are on order now and should get here today or tomorrow.
