so I wanted to reinstall linux on files.defrag.depaul.edu so we can get cpanel on it for gameing groups. I wanted to get it done today so tomorrow I can upgrade smartlanuch and then go to the party… well things didn’t quite work how I wanted them to. It started with me not bringing my wallet with me when I went to the bus and then when I was going to get the next bus I forgot that it’s one of 2 buses that dont leave on the hour and 1/2 hour so I end up waiting 40 min for my bus :-/. I only wish that was the worst part of the day :-(.

The only thing is my 2 favorate distro’s are not really supported. gentoo is not even listed on their site as something they are working one. debian 3.0 is beta but 3.1 came out a while ago and 3.0 is SOOO out of date. my choices are all rpm based something I left behind in the 90’s because they are nothing compaired to dpkg and portage. However I really want to use cpanel soo I deside to bite the bullet and start to install suse 10 when the install failed (because of something don’t know why) kevin told me that suse 10 is not supported. I got a little pissed but went fine and desided that getting mad would not help me get any where fast so I take one from the team and bendover while I start to download the 4 cd’s for fredora core 4 :-/ when the install failed I started to louse my cool but went fine test the cd for errors it said the md5 didn’t match so I checked the sha-1 of the iso it was fine burned another copy same thing bad md5 at this point my rage was getting high and my stack of cd-r’s was shrinking. At this point I tested the last thing centos. It’s red hat enterprise but free it also has the same installer as fedora. but you know what I get the same error :-(. at that poing all I wanted to do was go home and so I did but that’s when I rembered that it’s a blizzard out there :-(.
