The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Really neat place g'nad! - Gorgeous place!

Two miles down that road, I guess having a clean car better become a low priority! ;~D

OK, I've just mopped the floor so watch your step!

I'd better see what's left to eat in the kitchen!

LOL! You know...there are SO many dirt roads around here...you really can't avoid 'em. My Mom was shocked when they moved here that there were so many places where pavement would just suddenly end, with no signs or anything to warn people.

I remember going to somewhere in MA when I was little, and though I don't remember where we were going or what we did, I remember my brother and I just STARING out the window at all the cleeeeaaaan cars! I was amazed by that!

It's gotta big garden but the soil is not very good...

I'll have Mrs. g's dad haul down a couple of truckloads of good western Illinois topsoil from his farm...

They did a wonderful job of landscaping...

Do you feel the same way about all of 'em?

As far as recommending them to someone who doesn't have much of a Unix background- yes. Avoid 'em like the plague. But, if you're familiar with Unix and don't mind learning the sysadmin side of it, and don't mind reinstalling a couple times to remedy novice snafus then, sure go for it. I've played around on Red Hat a little- some of our contractors have it installed on windows laptops, but I haven't maintained it. It's ok, it can be stable. I have seen it crash on said laptops. It is an adequate OS: very do-it-yourself, it's just not spectacular.
