Last night, about 7:30pm I became an uncle again.

My new niece was 6lbs 12oz and 19 3/4″ long.

No name as of this writing.

One very cool thing, yesterday, July 26th, is my Grandmother’s birthday. A great grandchild makes a nice birthday present.

No pics yet, but I will post them when I get some.

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree.

Most men don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren’t as good, but they are easy to get.

The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they’re amazing.

They just have to wait for the right person to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men….men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it’s up to women to stomp the s–t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Slackware is my Linux distribution of choice. In fact, I am writing this post from my Slackware machine via Opera. I use it every day, all day.

This week Patrick released Slackware 12.0.

Now I am still running Slackware 10.2. Why didn’t I upgrade to 11? Never had time. Upgrading any operating system is a monumental task, especially when you use, tweak and customize it as much as I do.

Now my quandry. I don’t want to get too far behind, so an upgrade to 12.0 is a good idea, plus a newer version could help some issues I’ve had with my 22″ monitor. The big problem is how to do it. I’ve used the Slackware upgrade procedure before - with good results, but a full install may serve me better. A former co-worker of mine used to recommend moving the existing root partition into a new directory and doing a full install. This may be a good procedure, if I have adequate space, of course I will still need to recreate some of my confirguration for X, no-ip, iptables, samba, etc…

Bottom line, it’s a big job and I just can’t loose too much productivity right now.

Any suggestions on a seamless transfer will be greatly appreciated.
