So today, I needed some blank CDs to burn Damn Small Linux, and I had a gift cert. to Target, so off I went. I saw a headset for cheap, so I bought it – only because it claimed to be compatible with Linux!!!!! Now, imagine my shock to learn that we’re finally mainstream enough to have compatible headsets. Eat THAT Microsoft.

Really though, the coolest thing I’ve done today was setup DSL to boot from my thumbdrive, and to run from within Windows. The big reason that’s cool is it’s just automagic, and I can use a real terminal that doesn’t make me suicidal and I even get the standard payload of normal linux tools. Quite nifty indeed.
