Busy day…
Well, I did my good deeds for the day. I helped Liza install Windows 98SE on her computer, due to the fact that her old install was so riddled with virii and spyware that it was simpler to just blow away the old install and start again from scratch. I did at least leave her with a few tools installed to keep too much badness from happening again: installed Firefox, Trillian and Ad-Aware, which should at least keep her out of trouble for a few days.
The other good deed is that a friend of a friend gave me his laptop to install and update Debian on.. good stuff. It’s not every day I get someone asking me to install Linux on one of their boxes without me having me try to evangelize them a bit. I should have it ready to go by tomorrow. In exchange, he pledged to get me a pet rat. those damn rodcents have proven particularly elusive here on the island, as almost no pet store carries them. Hope the guy comes through on his promise.
