a brave new world 

a brave new world

i got my first job little more than 1 and a half month, and i'm really happy with it, although the salary is not so great, i get to play with linux and solaris and i only work 25 hours per week so i still have time to study and everything. it's impressive what you can learn when youre asked to do something and you lack the knowledge to complete the task, and internet is a database that was unthinkable 15 years ago. And with google all you have to do is ask the right question.

yesterday, i installed a new nevada build at home, nv42a and i'm quite impressed, gnome 2.14 is really cool. Of course i had problems, the library that takes care of address resolution was broken, thankfully the people at #opensolaris in freenode pointed me to a workaround; everything is working nicelly now
the new nv42 also comes with deer park (firefox pre 2) with the flash and realplayer plugins installed, obviously it is not as stable as the good old gnome 2.6 but it is definitely much nicer. I also love the new wallpapers and splashscreen

well, i'm off to read about solaris projects, this os has so many features that after using it for a few months already as my desktop i feel i'm just scratching the surface.
