Downtime

[Zini]

As announced a while back I am going to have a bit of personal downtime.

Background: My computer has been slowly dying since weeks. The new box will arrive today. But since I am changing my main OS and also I am using a heavily customized setup (including some self made tools), switching to the new box will be anything but trivial. I expect to spend extended time configuring and hunting down replacement for applications and plugins/extensions. Also, I probably will have to rewrite some stuff myself.

I intend to do it all in one go, which means I won't have time for anything else.

For OpenMW in particular that means during the transition I will still visit the forum, but not as often as usual. And I will definitely not be able to handle any pull requests.

If everything works well, I should be up and running again in 2-3 days. Otherwise it might take up to a week.

Best laid plans and all... good luck.

What was your main OS and what is your new main OS?

Curious minds want to know!

Going from Ubuntu 10.04 to Linux Mint 13.

So more of a distribution change than an OS? I thought you went Mac, Windows or Hurd on us...

When I get a new netbook I'm seriously considering installing Mint over Ubuntu.

You'll have to let us know if you like it. Mint has been the "it" distro, for what, a year now?

So far completely unimpressed. Partially because the shop I got my box from partially screwed up the installation, but also Mint tries way too hard to look like Windows. This will require some heavy configuring. I am on it for almost 3 hours now and I have barely scratched the surface.
