test bed update

So...I ran into an issue..
Ubuntu Used to be a good OS that catered not only to the high end but also the low end.
It was not uncommon to use Ubuntu to breath new life into older hardware and do more with it than windows ever could.
This is not the same anymore.
Ubuntu poopoo's on the people that made it popular and instead do stupid shit.
I could NOT get it to recognize my older video card for sit.
Fortunately there is another ubuntu offshoot other than Mint called LXLe that is Ubuntu restored back it its lighter days and works with older hardware...actually ubuntu would work but they removed and/or broke things in the repository in favor of only supporting newer hardware and thier sucky desktop manager.

Issue number two...Windows 7's boot loader is shit and hates anything but itself so i am having to stray from using my normal boot loader, (Grub2) and use a windows bootloader (EasyBCD). No biggy there.

The test bed is now all up and running and dual booting and Damn! is LXLe FAST on this thing.

This is my first attempt at blogging and replaces my original web site that has been online since...a long time ago. If you came looking for The Dragon BathHouse and Cafe, this is it's replacement. There will be lots do do here and if you are not carefull you will learn all about me. I might learn about me as well, along with metting and/or learning about you and that's the whole point isn't it ?
