First problem. It won’t let me install the GUI interface — apparently I need a minimum of 256MB of RAM. I was under the impression that system requirements for Linux were less than Windows.

So I’m stuck with text only. And I haven’t a clue what the command syntax is. Oh this will be fun.

Well, today’s the day. Today I finally get to thumb my nose at Microsoft and install the penguin instead. That’s right– I’m moving to Linux.

Of course there’s only one small problem. Ha! Actually there are a lot of problems, but they all stem from the fact that I know nothing — abso-freakin-lutely nothing — about Linux.

I’m a DOS guy. I know DOS inside and out, backwards and forwards. If you looked inside my brain, you’d see a DOS prompt and the message Bad command or filename. So it’s only natural that I stayed safely within the Windows world.

So. I have an old Pentium and Red Hat Linux. Let’s see what this penguin can do.

Stop Harrasing Creditor Calls

When you get a creditor call, do you harrass them? Well stop it! They have feelings too, you know.
