Deep in the basement, in the back corner of our house, you’ll find a small room by the water heater. This is our computer center. In it, there live two computers. Kevin’s is called OZ. It is has the latest and greatest everything on it. It’s main purpose is the surf the net and play computer games and it does both very very well. On the other side of the room is my computer. It’s name is Frankenstein because it is made from bits and pieces. I swear there are parts that are held together by duck tape. But I love Frankie. It hops on the network and every now and then I’ll team up with Kevin on his latest computer game. It can access the Internet and surf just fine even if it does have a very small screen. We get along quite wonderfully, Frankie and I. So while OZ is jamming away, we chug along quite happily.

But I’ve decided that Frankie needs to come out the closet. That’s right, I’m thinking of going LINUX. I figure, why not? He’s already messed up hardware wise, why not mix up the OS as well and make him a true freak. Of couse, I’m not real sure what LINUX is but I know there’s a really cute penguin involved which is a good sign. I mean, what sort of a mascot is a window anyway???

But I believe in reading the directions before trying to install something so I’m off to do a little research. So far, the amount of information is overwhelming. This might take me a little longer than planned but that’s ok. Wish me luck!
