Benjys and FreeBSD

26th December 1999

Missed almost three days … nothing much happened, though. Me and Sid went to the British Museum which turned out to be really boring. We decided to go to some other place, but Sid was tired, so we decided to go home. Then we decided to go to the Planetarium, then we decided to eat … started to look for a place called Benjy’s, couldn’t find it, instead managed to find a mosque to break our fasts. Then we did some grocery shopping from near the house, came home and I was really tired so I just went off to sleep.

The next day I decided to get a bit adventurous and install three operating systems on my PC: Windoze, Linux and FreeBSD! I ended up having to make a boot disk for linux since I couldn’t (yet) get the FreeBSD boot loader to ’see’ the linux partition. Anyways, I’ve been a FreeBSD convert for some time now. It’s much better than linux, I think.

Spent the last few hours trying to read my Distributed book .. the damn first chapter was too long! Then caught up on my emails.
