Here comes the sun again
My muchos good mate Cotia has gone off abroad to the far east on sojourns around Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam etc. for three months. Drove her and her mum up to the airport today (Heathrow) and it’s gonna be quiet without her around. I’m sure all my readers will join me in wishing her all the very best and all the safety in the world for her explorations and travels.

A distro named after me? Oh… Vixta Linux
Immediately I thought of what I usually get called after a few glasses of red, “Vickster.” Then I shook off my ego (sorry I had been watching too many politicians arguing over the toss last night on telly and their posturing.)
Vixta is a Linux distro which is based on Fedora and it uses the KDE desktop environment , the curious part of it is that it ships out of the box to look like Windows Vista. Now this may end up with a cease and desist notice (some of the graphics look far too close to the ‘real thing’) but actually it’s not too far off the mark of what Vista looks like in some elements. In others it’s clear it’s KDE particularly as the Konqueror file manager is just that–it’s not Windows Explorer.
