No news for a while, all the more as I watch Civ5 from a distance...

[WARNING : GEEK POST]

After almost 8 years with the same computer (only replaced the hard drive), which saw me discovering fast Internet connections, forums, Civ3 and Civ4, GNU/Linux via Ubuntu and so many things, I moved to the next step. The computer got silent for some reason 3 months ago, and I had to get me a temporary laptop from a friend or two, or I was going to die from no Internet link.

This weekend I got new pieces for my new PC, which I set up on my own with my screwdriver. Installed Debian Testing on it, and there you go : a new toy in my hands, for less than 300 euros.

So far the CPU hasn't got mad after me, and the mother board is still fixed to the PC box, so I'm good.
