Friday night and Saturday activities
The weekend
Three day weekend
Unlike a lot of people, I actually worked on Friday. The office was very quiet. Then I took three days off.

More Linux at home
As mia_mcdavid commented, I did a lot of work on one of my Linux systems last night. As I wrote last week, I had rebuilt one of my Linux systems with Ubuntu, a derivative of the Debian distribution.
mdlbear at the time suggested that I try native Debian rather than Ubuntu. After a couple frustrating evenings trying to get Ubuntu system exactly the way I wanted I decided to take his advice. He was right.
Ubuntu installed!
I have installed Xubuntu on Antrim, one of my P III systems (I tend to use trailing edge hardware when it comes out of my own budget). The problems I had earlier this evening were due to bad CD’s. I burnt a fresh CD from my ISO download, after throttling back the CD burner to a slower speed. This one worked and I got a clean install. I am posting from it here and now.
Lots of configuration still ahead. I will work on that tomorrow between tasks from my day job.
