About

I like my computer to be fast.

I realize that I don’t need fast computer. I just need fast software.

This blog is all about searching for a bloath-free software and smart ways to configure your software and hardware.

I’ve wiped out my OSX install entirely and installed xubuntu on my iBook G4 1.33 (mid 2005).
There is a lot of things in OSX that I really liked and with the power and flexibility of open source software I would like to recreate some of them.

Because I’m relatively new to linux, it’s a good idea to log my instalation/configuration steps for future instalations.
It won’t be a detailed log with lots of descriptions - sorry, I don’t have enough spare time to do that.
I just like to share my raw notes with you.

I assume that:
- you have xubuntu already installed and all repositories enabled (google to find out how).
- your system is up to date (”sudo apt-get upgrade”)
- you should run ” sudo apt-get update” (without the quotes) before “apt-get” command (once in a day should be enough)
- text in [code] frames should be typed/pasted in terminal window (in XFCE terminal you can paste with shift-ctrl-V)

My notes can be applied to Ubuntu install as well (not tested thou). Be sure to replace “mousepad” (xubuntu default editor) with “gedit” (ubuntu default editor) when typing/pasting text in terminal
