hey luckystrike what's up

I just got a dual-boot install of Ubuntu Studio up yesterday. It does not recognize my wireless out of the box the way my Ubuntu 8.10 livecd does, so I'm a little bummed there, and also I had to get all my editing shit and Cinepaint, which aren't included but used to be in old releases. Otherwise, hey it's pretty cool and just in time because I've got some work this week!

Before that, I was using Pure:Dyne for the same stuff, and I haven't booted into Win2k for about two months, so maybe it's time I go for a fresh install? Pure:Dyne, being a livecd, is really slow to boot and load apps, but once it's in RAM it's fast as fuck.

Wasted RAM is RAM that is sitting unused.

See, I do a lot of rendering, and I need as much of my RAM and as many of my CPU cycles as I can get.

Also, it's a goddamned shame 1GB of RAM is just enough to run an OS.

My laptop uses Vista and I don't mind it so much, but it's also not my work machine.

And for some reason I can't play FUCK SPACE!

messing around with audio, it's worked very well

sadly there isn't a video editor in linux i haven't crashed

i hear blender's works well, though, i'll try it next

what kind of animation does she do?

if she's ever doing 2D, she should give this a shot
