Somehow over the last couple of years my linux usage has become a server only thing. Linux used to be my main desktop os unless I was doing graphics stuff, but over time I got used to windows with the litestep shell.

I love litestep… I’ve been slowly tweaking my minimal theme for years now… a systray and a command box/clock and that’s it! I leave a 2px area at the top of the screen that can always be clicked to access menus.

I’m installing Fedora because it’s easy but real. I grew up on Slackware but I’ve also used my wife’s Ubuntu a lot… Ubuntu is nice but it seems a little bit too user friendly for me. Fedora is a good in between.

Anyway… It’s time to insall linux on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A135-S4477). I miss the 1337 feeling of linux desktop.

At this point I’m doing drive cleanup. I have a 90GB HDB that I’m going to install on but it was half full. I’m almost done transferring files to my 300GB external drive. This is a bit of a hassle because my WAMP folder is on HDB and I’m going to have to reconfigure the ini files later. Oh well.

Once HDB is clean and I’ve burned my Fedora DVD I’m going to delete the partitions and start the install.

I’ll keep posting about the process.
