I never really thought it would ever get to this level of sophistication, to be honest. I started out trying to do slackware installs from floppy disks, on old Zenith laptops, and discarded IBM PCs. It was pure engineering wonkery back then. Getting successful compiles from source was the *easy* way out. Now, Linux is just as easy to use as a Mac for most things, and just as annoying as Mac, for things that don't work out of the box. When I get the new machine, I'll do a complete write-up here, on how it went, and what I think of it. I never really thought it would ever get to this level of sophistication, to be honest.
