For a while now, I’ve been building a new computer. I put it all together and it seemed to work.
Hurrah!
So then I tried to install an operating system. I reached for something free – Linux. Unfortunately, despite trying installation CDs from 5 different distributions, they all failed.
Hurroo.
Yesterday, however, something exciting and shiny arrived in the post. Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 has arrived. And it works. Well, the installer does at least. At the moment I’m staring at a “percentage complete” indication which is moving very slowly.
Oh well, I might be able to post a more complete review later this weekend. Or maybe on Monday. Who knows if it will ever finish installing?
