While waiting for the car to be repaired, I spent the day getting the Suburban (the wheel-losing Suburban) washed, stripping some wallpaper, and building a Linux box.
It's running the 2.4.18 kernel. (Hey SCO! Up yours!) Had to replace the CD-ROM drive before I could get a complete install, but after that, it went well. One odd thing I noticed is that X-Windows and KDE take a long time to come up, at least compared to what I am used to. The CPU is a 500 MHz AMD K6-2, which should be speedy enough.
Stripping wallpaper sucks. I don't recommend it as a hobby.
