I’ve created a new category called “Linuxapade” - from the multilingual word “escapade“.  I wanted to see if I can document my adventures with the wonderful, yet frustrating, yet rewarding world of linux.  It’s a mad house over here, almost like going on a seven day adventure to the land of nowhere and you learn to build fire by your self, hunt for your food, enjoy the kill and the feast.  In this case you’re actually forced to learn how an operating system works and hardware, etc.  It doesn’t do it for you like Windows or MAC.  There are some automated features that work out-of-the-box, but if it starts to break you have no choice, but to find a solution - no matter how many hours it’ll take you to first understand how this device is supposed to work.
