I guess it’s not worth pointing out that I have paid little attention to my poor blog during the last couple of months. In fact, I’ve done a little bit more than one would assume seeing the huge gap in recent entries (which I still intend to fill with a couple of nice photos from this period): I have been thinking of it. Fine, but isn’t this a bit cheap, could you ask, isn’t it action which makes the difference between good intentions and good results? Ok, so I will share my thoughts that gathered throughout these months as a kind of first step to prospective action:

Feisty Fawn
It was not as smooth as I hoped it to be, but, at last, Feisty Fawn (a.k.a. Ubuntu Linux 7.04) is up’n'running on my laptop. And what’s most important: Finally, my WLAN card is working! Still, getting it to use WPA encryption was still a bit problematic. Driver worked OK, but the Gnome Network Manager just ignores that I have installed wpasupplicant – and the hack I found in some forum did not help. With some research, I found out how to edit my /etc/network/interfaces file, but this is still not a satisfying solution: If I want to use it with other networks, I will have to manually edit the config file again (for WPA) or comment out the changes I made.
And there is apparently a bug that brings the boot process to hang when starting up the network. Hopefully, there will be a fix for that soon, because having to wait more than 5 minutes (well, it is an old machine, indeed) at each start is, diplomatically speaking, “not amusing”.
I also installed a bunch of programmes I think I might want to use. One of them is “gnome-blog-poster”, which I am just trying by writing this entry.
