Tales from the Land of Linux

Well, I still have my old habits of procrastination, but that's no big deal, I hope! The main thing that's been going on is that I've been experimenting with Linux. I currently have Fedora Core 6, and after initial difficulties it's been pretty simple. Of course, by "initial difficulties" I mean that I had to make manual adjustments just to get the login screen to load up. And then the headache of setting up a so-called "Winmodem". Oh well. It's working reasonably well now.

In other news, I had a concert on Thursday night. We did pretty well, if I do say so myself, and I had a 4-measure solo in one of the pieces. We played Selections from Fantasia, Peter and the Wolf, Rock and Roll Classic!, and Scottish Tryptich. Those probably don't ring a bell (except Fantasia), but anyway...

I've also been on the lookout for good Linux games, and I'd appreciate a note if you find any. I found one promising one that runs mainly on Windows but can be compiled on Linux. It's a 3D roguelike called Egoboo, and you can find it's homepage here. I just found it today, so I haven't tried it yet. The page looks rather outdated, and the wiki is REALLY outdated, but there's signs of recent activity on the forums.

That being said, I'll hopefully try to make another post before the new year. (I think I know what my New Year's resolution is going to be...)
