I don't want to love you.

I am suddenly so tempted to make a Sailormoon friending meme and just friend a bunch of people from the fandom. Most likely that would lead to me posting here again, which would just set me up to screw up all over again.

Someone stop me. ;_;

It's my home box. Web stuff (e-mail, browsing), accounting and office functionalities, database stuff (I'm trying to put my anime and manga collection on it), that sort of thing.

It is only a "local server" (i.e., localhost is serving the local workstation for CUPS, mySQL and PostgreSQL, that sort of thing).

Niiiice. I would love to run this machine on Linux, but I'm having enough problems right now, so it probably wouldn't be in my best interest to do an OS wipe / install at the moment. In addition to the learning curve of running on a new OS.

Yeah, mine runs local also which is part of my problem. I would much rather have a separate box for mySQL especially. The script on my site eats up a lot of resources so it lags a lot. When the bots come they really hurt the speed.

I actually dual-booted the machine. When I want to (i.e., the one day a year when I do my tax return...), I unplug the modem and boot into Windows XP - I don't let Windows connect to the internet. The rest of the time, it's running Linux.

Dual booting was quite the challenge: I dropped the Mandrake disk in the CD drive, rebooted the machine, had Mandrake's install program say to me, "Hey!! I detected Windows!! Would you like to dual boot?", and had to choose "yes" or "no". Man, I was tempted to say "no".

(Installing a new printer was equally a challenge. "Hey!! You've got a new printer!! Wanna make it the default?" Yes. "Wanna print a test page?" Yes. "Test page OK?" Yes. Finis. No installing drivers as I had to do in Windows. No rebooting. Just good to go.)
