Finally.
I finally got Linux installed on my work laptop. It’s a Debian installation on yet another USB external hard drive, but it’s working now quite well. I used Knoppix to get the base system on, and then had to use the Gentoo kernel. For some reason the Knoppix bootloader wouldn’t let me override the root device, but the Gentoo kernel (after copying over the correct modules) worked quite well.
The only thing left to really configure is the X server - Xig offers an accelerated server for the Intel 855 series chipset, which I think I’ll have to use since no other driver supports the 1280×768 resolution.
First I’ll try out the official Intel X driver though - they even have the AGP GART and DRI modules. But who knows if that’ll work.

Greetings from the capital! Im going home for easter, send me a line if youre going to be home, perhapse we can spend the night togther, and by that I mean us, you and me, not you snuggled in between my parents in my parents bed.
Ičll be able to get time off for easter becouse I just got my ass fired on monday, but in a nice way. They were all like, Keep in tuoche you crazy bastard!
I was hoping that when they sent me off they would give me some candy that fell on the floor or something, but life isnčt perfect. On the upside one of the managers gave me a hug wich was cool becouse I havenčt felt a womans tuoch (other than me mothers) in like 8 months.
Also on the upside, I have a ride home with Stacie Shelikins for easter if I want it. So yeah, Im comin home. See you if your there dudeman.
