SuSEd

Hmm.. well it looks like the previous announcement made no longer holds true.. oh yeah,another oppurtunity for you gys to laugh at my insane works has whizzed past you at the speed of light ,,,

BUT i luv u ppl ( U r the only ones reading my blog for a start .. hehe)

so im going to tell you what happened anyway

You see god made windows so that the world would not be stuck with tryin out different versions of linux on which their software could work,, to put it more technically, windows does not make you desperate enough to virtually bury someone elses laptop for running a command prompt software...
I know that most people are really gettin the drift ,so i elucidate

One of the dudes ( mayb read fools) was kind enuf to lend me his laptop for the proj, which ( the deed) by the way ,was only a result of the recent high he wass on owing to his goa trip plan :P..
So the dude never out of the goan dreams , gives me the lappy and leaves th state on the next day,
So far so good u think eh,,,nah not so soon!
Well u c the bed and my back and my belly have in the past 3 months worked really hard to form a symbiotic relationship , which in plain english means that wen they are together none can survive without the other,,and this hadnt realised until i lay down so innocently on the bed to continue with my linux installation,,,

SUSEd!

Linux always has baffled me..a partition called f n windoows mayb called e in linux ( owing to different file structures )...as always the law that says that --when u gotta g o u gotta-- held on and thre i was goin into a slumber which only nine solid hours of slumber could wake up...
By now most of u would hav formed ur own conclusions and those of you who are readin backwards might already know the end and some others may b as blank as im now.hmm ****

(SO this is me again continuin...the typin was too tiring so i broke this up..)

Anyways the story is not going anywhere with my stubbornness to not reveal the stupid consequences of my actions...
So read on ..im making sacrifices again for your pleasure..
Just a little prologue though,,, Clever me has already transferred all the data to another partition so that i d have enough space to install the Godly OS..And so on..

So partition E is ready and waiting for me there...
I restart insert the CD , it runs as usual ..nothin funny ..Me likes watchin stupid progress bar headin towards the 100% even if its gonna take an eternity,,( teaching me process scheduling was a waste .. :P). SO it loads detects my hard drive and etc etc ...Then it poops oops sorry pops the question..
Partition ???
yes of course..but !
Well for those who have never used suse 9.0 ( how lucky u r ), the partition manager is expectin u to b some kind of a psychic., or some kind of crazy person..why else will they show you partitions with no name ,, no freespace information and no bloody drive letter?? somehow i find out what drive letter its assigned and using my rather solid memory decide to have a go at E drive as planned earlier..
E drive repartitioned !
Life was going great.....i had successfully partitioned the drive .bring it on...
All the software installed ...sound not there ..HU GIVS A SHIT ?? i have windows ..this is purely project ...concentrate dude...
Wat happened later is really really vague to me ...tats mainly because its been a while since i left this blog incomplete..hehe.
To say the least that days slumber which i was accidentaly forced into lasted around 4 hrs ,,to be broken only by the sound of some earlyriser( man talk abt early ,4 'o clock..cRAZY!!) .
Well,the point is that i woke up..noticed that the installation was stuck midway and figured that all i had to do to resume the stuck installation was to click on the continue button after inserting the next CD.. DONE!...that was the last CD.Life was returning to bliss again ..SLUMBErrrzzzzzz..

The morning was as morningy as ever..the sun was shining ,the mess was emanating vicious fumes of the morning breakfast,the mess staff were doin their deeds in our toilet and we were as usual content with huggin those pillows and dreaming about the classes getting cancelled..

NOT QUITE..
See, I was not one among them.I was not dreaming or huggin my pillows..I was droolin on my friends laptop for a change..aah those great keys..so soft and sensitive..those buttons.. [:P]
After the great exaggerated nap on the laptop,i realised again that my duties were left unfinished..
[NO CLASS...yay..i luv cSE]
I quickly decided to test the new and amazing OS by rebooting my computer and saw that it was working perfectly..
All software were installed..

Time : approx 9:00 pm

aah..all the hardwork was done..I was getting fed up of linux..Time to switch to billGATEs Windows...(did he do tht on purpose ?? )..
So i rebooted ,chose windows ..and clicked on the F drive...
HOLY@#%@#%@#%
[those maynot have been my exact reactions ,i confess..nobody screams at the hash percentage...... (u get it dontcha ??!!)].

Seems like god doesnt want me to switch to windows..
Only if i could conjure music from freespace...
only if i could see through nothingness..
only if i were dreamin,,,,
AH..!oh yea yea..i screwed up...everything was gone..
So much for showing off in the blog in the first place..

PREPARING FOR THE ROYAL TREATMENT...

So you must be wondering...'wat about that moron who gave this guy the lap in the first place ??'
'MAN he s gonna get so bashed '..
Well guys,partially ..i was thinkin that too..the very reason i put up the previous post..[read]
But having friends who are physically weaker than you helps..helps even more when they are enjoying the sun and floating high in goa..so no worries for a week..
the rest....??
WEll this is not the worldwar im talkin about..what can possibly happen ..eh ?

I wonder why people unnecessarily poke at Linux saying that it is so bad. So, try this. After u have installed Linux try installing Windows over it. Windows too would confront you with all those scary partitions thing and you wouldn't have the lest clue which is what. The cool thing about linux that it names harddisk like hda1,hdb1 or sda1, sdb1, etc. These a and b at least differentiates between the two physically different harddisk. At least it is better that C:, D: etc.

All these may seem pointless from a window user's point-of-view, but remember I too had been Windows user and swore by it, until I came across Kubuntu Feisty. :-)
