    knoppix rescues young lady from death by boredom

    Hardly earth-shattering news here, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

    I was off installing a computer network in the deep wilds of North Mississippi today, and the customer's daughter was stuck hanging around waiting for it all to drag to a slow end. She did an impressive job of amusing herself waaay beyond the call of duty, but ran out of entertainment long before the day ended.

    Fortunately I had a few knoppix CDs handy. I was able to get her up and running with a little Frozen Bubble and let her hang onto the CD for future use. I also pointed her to this forum since she seemed to get some use out of it.

    Thanks to Mr. Knopper for at least somewhat reducing the unbearable tedium of a young lady forced to endure the pergatory of waiting for a bunch of network madness to be resolved.

    Oh, sure. Word has it that in the early days of computing they used to partition their hard drives by color.. (just kidding)
