my first dual boot / smelling the perfume of the mistress
February 9, 2007
So restart… sounds of drums… and yeeeeeeeeeessss
a silly-named piece of software (GRUB) lets me select an OS to boot with. Unexpectedly, I can even choose between 2 types of Windows now. Ubuntu is the default OS.
Of course I want to start up with Ubuntu now, just a quick look before bed…
But again, my new mistress enchanted me and seduced me to stay longer with her. All this exiting new features and games and sounds… Aaaahhhh… I imagine her perfume to be having all kinds of subtle natural flavours. Fruity, but also some suggestion of musk and other adventurous smells…
My girlfriend now officially pronounces me completely crazy.
But look how smoothly Ubuntu updates herself! See these useful workspaces in the bottom right corner? Look at those curves on the default desktop…
Ok, not all is perfect under the sun. Ubuntu has never heard of my webcam. She doesn’t know about wireless internet just yet. With her, my speakers make a more silent and muffled sound and my skype friends can’t hear me clearly. I’m not allowed access to her more delicate parts just yet (but hey, on a first date!) But she looks willing to learn. She has great friends who give me useful tips on how to tame her and how I’ll get her to listen to me… She hasn’t seen the last of me yet!
I give myself shoulder taps and go to bed!
