I left the office quite late tonight and wanted to get home has quickly as possible, but cops, movies and traffic got in the way. Traffic wasn’t terribly bad on I-25, but many drivers were driving slow in the fast lane; therefore, in order to maintain 80, I had to drive in the right-hand lane most of the time I was on I-25. I’m having to drive in the slow lane more often these days to maintain the speed limit or, as I prefer, the natural speed for the road, which, by the way, is always 10 MPH or more above the posted speed limit. A good way to test this is to drive behind a police officer when there isn’t much traffic. I’ve noticed that Albuquerque police, State police and Sheriff officers tend drive 10 to 15 MPH over the speed limit if they are not trolling for tickets or responding to calls.



-Friday the 13th brings bad luck, they say. I’ve got proof ! The housemaid reported sick today …….
-What Linux distribution package are you using ? Mint, Ubuntu, Debian ? And why ?
-Interesting url http://distrowatch.com/
You have a housemaid? That’s seems pretty lucky in general. So far Friday the 13th is starting out lucky for us. We have 5 cats in bed with us this morning.
I use debian on our servers because is extremely stable, secure, and easy to keep up-to-date on whatever version I’m running. Debian also tends to be very pure and free of script that have issues with copyright and patents. On laptops and workstation I’ve used Ubuntu most recently, but over the years I’ve used a variety of distributions on both workstations and servers including Linux Pro, Red Hat, SuSe, Slackware, YellowDog, Knoppix, Trubo Linux, tiny Linux, etc.
There are lots of Linux distributions, that’s for sure. I used Mandrake Linux, now Mandriva, on the desktop for many years.
