For sure!

I mean, Mint is a great distro.

Have you tried Arch, btw?

That brings back memories!

They are not likely to be using the terminal. Pretty much every graphical file browser will ask for confirmation upon delete, and many will use a rubbish bin by default.

Before I had a proper internet connection (had to ask permission to borrow a dial up account) I bought a magazine that had a picture of a cow on it saying that Larry the cow was different. It was a DVD image of the stage one mirror of this new fangled Gentoo thing.

Learnt from the magazine how to install a bootloader and so on and then “bravely” typed emerge world into the terminal after configuring the list of all the packages I wanted. Including a full desktop (KDE I think but may have been Gnome). And Firefox. And Open Office. And some multimedia stuff I don’t remember.

On a Pentium ii.

Took a week before I could do the next step :D

HD650 rocks. Getting close to having to replace the pads again but the hardware is rock solid and sounds great.

Glad to hear that. I downgraded for the same reason so it will be nice not to have to pin old driver versions in future if it works.

It’s its own kind of sexy.
