Hard drive to arrive soon

August 7, 2005 Posted by mitch | technology | 0 Comments

My hard drive is schedualed to arrive tuesday, however I've noticed on FedEx's web site it was in Salt Lake yesterday morning... so I'm hopping it will be put on a truck to Orem tomorrow morning early, so it will make it on a truck out for delivery tomorrow. I've been using my laptop at home, and I must say.. I really don't like typing on a laptop when I have a keyboard right here... If I were to ever get a laptop, I'd need a docking station/port replicator for when I was at home. I'd just like to say NewEgg Rocks! I'm getting a SATA 160GB Seagate drive to replace my Western Digital 120 SATA drive, and I'm still hoping I can pull off my /home partion off the drive. Stability got alot better with an XFS file system on it over the ext3, so I'm going to use that again for this next drive. It should be good :) I'm also going to have extra space now that this drive is 40GB larger... so I think i'm going to leave 10GB or so for testing other distro's. I might even bring back Gentoo. Or really give Ubuntu a try. We will see.
