my linux story: a disenchantment

on the other hand, there's no improvement on dying video with 9.10, and just on the first day i encountered a "freeze" with the screen saver, where barely some elements of running software were shown. i had to press the (') button. almost like ['].

my linux story: a revelation

i got a hd formatted in hfs+ (the mac os x filesystem) full of video files. trying to use it under win xp was a pain in the ass: software that supports hfs+ is either costly, or doesn't support it properly, and the files must be copied, VERY slowly, to the win hd. and they don't work, then. don't try it at home.
after longer gap (as you see) i fired up the ubuntu fujitsu-siemens. upgraded to 9.10 beta, just for fun.
and - revelation: there's hfs+ support with certain packet, and it works like a wonder. no need for copying. great!
