Lucidity

As the Gorse Fox sat in his study marvelling at the peace and quiet and the absence of moaning and whingeing from nearby secretaries he cracked on at pace with the configuration work he has been pursuing. Alongside his laptop, two further machines were glowing as they were put through their paces – the main home PC ridding itself of Norton 360 (for now) and installing Windows Security Essentials – and the old machine trying to rid itself of old files and install Lucid Lynx (the latest Linux distribution).

The afternoon was punctuated by the weekly call regarding candidate selection for Starfleet’s Technical inner sanctum This is beginning to get frustrating as the candidates and their coaches fall behind on the preparation of their cases.

Lucid Lynx, meanwhile, is turning out to be Irritating Install as the installation keeps failing at the same point – even with freshly downloaded images and new copies of the CD and attempts from multiple CD drives… GF thought the whole purpose of this latest distribution was simple installation.
