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.

I’m toying with the idea of using a virtual machine inside of linux.  It’s been about two+ weeks or so since I last logged into my windows partition.  And to be honest it’s mainly because my activation is up and I just don’t want to try and figure it out anymore.  I learned the other day that I can run VM software inside of linux (other OSs too) and actually save a particular state (just like I used to with video game emulators) and if anything goes wrong - just load from my last save.  This can probably work as well, in regards to activation.  I don’t plan on installing or using heavy applications - so in theory, if I get my installation fine and immediatly install the apps I plan on using.  Then I can save that state and whenever things go wrong just reload my last state and I’ll have another 30-days of bliss windows usage.  Just a thought.
