Another little success

So, with the T60 up and running with Crunchbang, I thought I'd give a look at the A31.  (Actually, I didn't have anything else to do, but that doesn't sound as inspirational, now does it?)

My weapon of choice, AntiX 13 Beta 2.  And it worked fine.  Booted up live and ran fine.

Just one problem:  Wireless.  The wireless card wasn't recognized.  It's an older PCMCIA card, and I suspect it's a problem with the drivers.  And, of course, if you can't go online, you can't check for new drivers...

OK, no, I'm not going to string along on this.  I did hook into the modem via ethernet cable, and the A31 went online fine.  But, no, I didn't look for the drivers.

And, no, I didn't install.  Not yet.

Hey, I've already got 4 Linux distros up and running on various systems.  And I'm still really just getting the hang of two of those.  So...  Maybe I want to hold off a bit...

So, Linux news is at least good this evening.

And, also, so is Mac news.  I finally got round to doing basic system's maintenance on the family iMac, and on my work laptop, the MacBook.  They're both back up and running.  I had to put the MacBook through it's paces preparing some paperwork today, and it did great.  Kind of odd to be back on the Macs, but kind of fun, too.

Otherwise, a quiet day.  Nice out.  Good to get out and about, and clear the head before another week starts.

Now, off to relax and watch bad TV.  And all that...
