Current Goal

I want to see all kinds of Linux distributions. And become photographed with them together. Different platforms are of course also very interesting things to get acquainted with too.

      This trackable was not in the Gunnersbury 1 (The Wall) GCNDXN cache when I found it this afternoon.

      Coin is not in Gunnersbury 1 (The Wall). I'd suggest marking it as missing. Hope it turns up sometime.

      Logging this (from my Ubuntu laptop of course) to say it wasn't in the Gubnnesbury cache today.

      Wanted to pick this one up from GCNDXN Gunnersbury 1 (The Wall), but it was missing...

      Just a cross-reference due to change of user name. See log for "Andy Lawrie".

      Picked up from Frogmill Farm. But I'm not a Linux guru. When I picked it up there was no documentation with it describing its purpose, else I might have left it there 🙂

      On the desktop I tinker with Linux now and again, mostly because I think I ought to, and because I think I really should have an alternative to Windows if MS ever do anything that makes me need to stop using it. But despite being a computer techie since 1977, Unix and Linux just don't click with me. I run a copy of PC Linux in a VM under XP, but very rarely fire it up. Nearest I come to it is that I use several GNU tools such as GCC for ARM and AVR, but under Windows, not Linux.

      I own a small company that designs and programs embedded systems. I implemented Linux on an embedded ARM processor once, but it was just so I understood the process and not because I had a job for it - for all the jobs we've ever done, embedding Linux would merely increase the hardware requirement and slow the whole thing down compared to using a compact RTOS.

      So, I'm sorry, but I'm not the best person to have taken this coin 😟

      I'll drop it off and hope someone more suitable finds it. But looking back through the logs I wouldn't hold your breath (English way of saying you might have to wait a long time 🙂).
