I love the linux operating system. Linux comes in a lot of different flavours and it has been a “hobby” of mine to try as many of them as possible. I have now found home. Ubuntu linux is sweet. I have never gotten all the hardware on my laptop, an IBM a31/p to work with any of the linux distributions, but with ubuntu linux everything has worked right out of the box.

To sum up what has worked here that has been problematic in other distros:

• bluetooth (file exchange with cell phone and use the phone as modem)
• wlan
• power management (CPU Stepping, suspend to ram and hibernate)

These are, in my opinion, an absolute must on laptops as long as they are built in. Actually all built-in hardware in a computer should work 100% in the operating system. Ubuntu is the first distro I have managed to accomplish this in. Therefore I will stick with this distribution for a while.

On a less nerdy plane, Charlottes fever has disappeared, but she is still not well. Her eyes are wet, her nose is stuffed, she eats very little and sleeps all the time. My poor little girl is not well yet. I hope she will recover soon. It hurts me to see her like this. If she’s not better tomorrow I will take her to the doctor. A normal cold should have been over now, I think.

I logged in to my net bank to check if I could afford to buy dinner in addition to bread today and the balance made me very happy. The social security office made a mistake calculating my paternity leave, so we have gotten 4000 NOK less then we should have, and today they had corrected the mistake and repaid what we didn’t get the last two months. Finally we can afford buying diapers, formula and other luxuries again. Feels good.
