If you are following along with the rest of the site, you know that mike_k is getting ready to attempt to automate his house with Debian. You will also know that chris_f is getting ready to guide us through making our own distribution of Linux, using Arch. I've been futzing around with various distros, ultimately learning a ton about how to put this all together and use it, though nothing is specialized yet to just one, meaning I still have a long way to go. However, I want to play along with mike_k and chris_f, so I need to have both Debian and Arch installed so I can do whatever. I also want to start using Linux full time for school, unlike someone (*AHEM* chris_f *COUGH*) who shall remain nameless. Debian comes with a nice openoffice version, and I know how to put the new version of Firefox on my system regardless of what the distro nazis have decided should be used, so I know I can do this, if I can only get a dual boot running. Time to play!
