Finally finish my own linux distro: Minux

I have been working on my own linux distro for a whlie. It is not from complete scratch. I do not know how long it would take to make my own C compilier. I have used open source packages and combined them together to make my distro.I did my work in VMware player so I did not need 2 computers. It made it easier aswell because I could suspend my work and return back to it with out having to setup everything again. if you use a phyical computer then when you shut down it is a bit of work to arrive to same point in the setup.

How productive are you during the day?

Ever wonder at the end of the day where the time went and what you used that time for? Well now you can record snippets of what you do during the day on the computer. If you can see how much time you waste on facebook, digg and other waste of time sites you might start to notice a pattern.

The only way to get more productive is to know what bad habbits makes you unproductive. Feedback is the breakfast of champions.

How to make your operating system into a vmware image.

 When I was converting over to linux I was not sure that I would get everything from my windows operating system. Instead of just deleting it I thought it would be better to make it in to a VMware image so if I needed a windows operating system then I could use it in VMWare player in Debian.

Converting to Linux: Debian Lenny 5

 I finally decided today to fully convert everything I do on my personnel computer to Linux. I always wanted to be an expert at the Linux operating system. I always messed around with linux through vmware workstation because there is so many distros it is easier than vmware player for management. I have used Linux as a webserver and file server which I have conquered now. I am now want to be an expert at the desktop side of Linux. Every thing is not as simple using linux but if it is not hard then it is not worth doing.
