Hell Oh Entropy!

Life, Code and everything in between

Lenovo 3000 G410

That's my new weapon, which I've finally got working amidst the usual Diwali fever; shuttling between Kharghar and Mira Road and generally trying to get my home in shape for our first Diwali. Anyways, on to the weapon in question:

  • Processor: Intel Dual core 1.86 GHz
  • Memory: 2 GB
  • HDD: 160 GB
  • Network: Ethernet, Wireless, Bluetooth
  • Looks: Boxy, the kind most think looks ugly. Works for me though as long as it does what I want it to do.

The entire package cost only 29000 INR from Croma and I slapped on 999 INR for an HP PSC. A discount on being a Tata employee meant that the PSC was effectively free :)

Tried Mandriva, Fedora and then finally went back to Debian because I didn't want to waste time trying to stumble around another distro. Yes, I've been too long on Debian (6 years) and every other distro seems to me as being deficient in some way or the other. Mandriva is too much GUI; it's almost as if it doesn't care about anything else. Fedora is really good, but just not Debian. It puts too much into the default install and seemed to want to connect to the internet each time I search for package descriptions on the package manager. Anyways, my opinion in this case is probably slanted because I tried Fedora only for a couple of hours, enough to download a Debian Netinstall CD image ;)
