OS Change

Posted at 7:47 pm MST to Technology

The laptop I work on is now running Kubuntu. The absence of normal Linux access to root is being annoying, as I expected. And it will take a few days to get back to the full configuration I had previously... I'll need to reinstall Oracle and VMWare, among other packages.

At the moment, I'm still restoring my /home partition. It took 7 and a half hours to back up, so I suppose I can't complain when it takes a similar amount of time to restore. I'm giving home its own partition this time, though, so if I decide I can't stand Kubuntu after all, I can just nuke the system space and load something different. I'd need to back up /home, to be safe, but unless something went wrong I wouldn't need to do the restore.
