On Linux for some time

Well, yesterday at about 8:45 PM, computer went wacko. Mozilla Firefox didn't open anymore after clicking on its icon and after managing to reset its settings using MF Safe mode, the browser opened, but then it hard disk went active and this ended up in complete freeze of the computer. Well, I don't know what's up. I did virus check and spyware check(there were some registry entries found though...). Well, I think that mother has to call one of our relative who knows the computers better than I and who restored lost files after a virus deleted them in 2004.

Until things get fixed, I am running computer from Knoppix Live CD. Besides that it is Linux, not Windows, it runs from CD and therefore uses hard disk only for its swapfile... Well, please pray that things get fixed and everything would be OK.

Knoppix is kind of interesting, it has its own Winamp-like media player, it has 2 web browsers and many other useful tools... If I only could get MIDI and Windows Media to work...

Whoa

I almost fell out of my chair when I found out(thanks to Google) this morning that as of year 2000, 25 thousand Estonians were living in USA and Florida was ranked 5th in the states what have Estonians... Well, I think I will become more active in tropics section of Estonian weather forum this summer. Yesterday I heard about deadly tornadoes in Central Florida. I hope that there weren't any Estonians affected...

Whoa...
