My New OS

Hey guys, I've installed a new OS yesterday. The New Solaris 10. wow.. i was very pleasure when I got it last friday. it was the day i came back from Jakarta to Bandung. the day when I left Jakarta, it got flooded all parts of the city ;(

I got the cd originally from Sun Microsystems. they gave the new Solaris 10 DVD for free. there are three DVD that they gave:
1. Solaris OS for x86/64
2. Solaris OS for SPARC architecture
3. Developer Tools DVD

I just curious, wanna feel how's the taste of Solaris. it's all about unix isn't it. I wanted to taste it in my own notebook.

so... it wasn't easy enough to install it. there are few (may be many.. ;)) that I haven't got it. so the installation didn't get smooth, but I just installed it once. 'cause fortunately I didn't have to reinstall it if i got error nor not installed completely. if the installation got error, it would help us to recover any files that needed to be fixed.

I had a "little" difficult for the GRUB. the Solaris only could detected the windows. not my Gentoo. after a little try modifying the menu.lst file, I didn't make it. so I did a little browse to find out. in the middle of browsing seeing any examples of menu.lst file. i just realize that the configuration of the menu.lst file between linux and Solaris are not the same way. so I added the new line to boot my Gentoo. and then... guest what.. it can boot all of my OS now... wooww...

now, this is the list of OS that are installed in my notebook;

1. /dev/hda1 - Mi**os**t Win***s
2. /dev/hda3 - The Solaris 10
3. /dev/hda8 - Gento0 distribution

well, there's one more problem I haven't got the chance to try, is to try boot from the GRUB of my Gento0...

Flooding

The flood has come again. it attacks all part of Jakarta. not even in Jakarta, it also comes to other places in Indonesia, one of them is Jambi.

This disaster is most about human faults. people often just throw trash not in the right place. they throw garbage to the river, the sewage, even in the pool. the Jakarta gov also always did the wrong way. they evicted the people from their houses by the reason of sight irk. than they trade the land to the real estate developers to make buildings, skycrapers. isn't that really a fool thing that they did?

not also that, they also build and build again. it makes jakarta don't has any absorp area again. so if the big flood comes, the town won't be able to hold any water come. then it became the flood.

the jakarta citizens (the riches) bought houses in upper town like bogor, puncak, and the surroundings area that is higher land than jakarta. so they also can't absorb water if the rain come.

so, it's all about human faults. the jakarta gov never learn from their mistakes in the past. they just do and do it again.

we should aware about our neighbor. we should keep it, because the earth is the place where we live. where ever we are.

Chauu...
