Currently borked but looking ahead…

First off, I’d just like to say that this new WordPress Dashboard looks fantastic and functions really well. Nice work guys. So, what’s up with my Linux box? Well, I switched from SVN to the KDEmod repository in Arch Linux. I managed to fix every problem I had before, including the missing Oxygen icons. Then I saw a few changes in the repo and an update to 4.0.68. I gave into temptation and did a pacman -Syu. That was the last I saw of my speedy, beautiful desktop which had the Slim Glow plasma theme and a few neat widgets.

So its back to Windows for a while. I’m getting a teeny bit bored of Arch. That is, if I find something more exciting I’d go for it. And I have a hunch I may have found it. Before I first used Arch, I had a long chat on the Arch channel and the Gentoo channel on Freenode. I was very satisfied with both distros. However, due to time constraints I went for Arch. But now I think I know my way around and I’m looking for a new, exciting challenge. Even possibly to try 64-bit since my Pentium 4 Processor with EM64T does support it. I will however, put a move to Gentoo on hold as I may go shopping for a graphics card. So I’d prefer to get it set up on Arch first before heading to Gentoo.

I’d really love to post another screenshot of my desktop, but due to severe borkage (is that a word?) I have no choice but to use this Microsoft product as I wait for an update after a few reports of a similar bug with KDM have been made.
