I've abandoned the idea of putting anything in that old SGI Indigo case, it really wasn't worth the effort for a cool case, but I started a new project which has been moderately successful so far.

As everyone who has read my web log for more than a few days knows, one of my favorite games is Diablo II LOD. I do have Transgaming's Cedega, so I can play the game under Linux, but I wanted to do something a bit more, playing alone can be boring after you've run the Cow level for the zillionth time.

Friend and Linux advocate, Marcel Gagne, has used Linux Mandrake (now Mandriva) on his desktop for at least as long as I've known him. Though Fedora Core 4 has been serving me pretty well the past, there are things I miss about SuSE Linux, such as the ease of switching between wireless networks - just switch profiles. I'm sure Fedora has such a thing too, but it doesn't seem as evident, and the Fedora docs team just don't seem to have it together quite the way the Ubuntu wiki does. I like Ubuntu, but I want a change, something different from what I install at work, Mandriva fits the ticket.

I didn't bother changing much theme-wise, but I found this really excellent background image of an Alien which goes really well with lighter themes. The only problem is the ugly logo in the top right, but that's easily gimped out!
