End of an eon

Finally got email from the HR guy, that I'll be joining my first company at Pune. That means, I need to leave my home and go to Pune. Though I was not expecting to stay in Delhi after joining, Pune was not expected either. But things like these have been happening to me all the time.

I have been expecting that I'll be offered one or the other thing in Java only, as it is total greek to me and dearest to this company (more than it would have been to Sun Inc.) Though I had upgraded my RAM, installed Eclipse and found some java tutorials as well but did nothing apart from that.

Totally unrelated to this, I finally completed the FreeBSD download and tried to install it in place of Mandrake 10.1. I was trying to install it over the ext3 partitions of Mandrake only but encountered Errors about Disk Geometry. Followed this link:

But it couldn't resolve my problem. As I didn't want to risk my system, I thought of installing Fedora Core 3 only.

Some packages need to be installed on FC3 to make it work the way I do. I followed this link : http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc3/ and installed the necessary packages, rest all is left to smartpm.
Running FC3 out of box was quite slow for me, stopped the unrequired services, but still Gnome is quite slow. I guess time for me to go back to WindowMaker.
