strredwolfYou know, I have some strange hardware.
Origionally, occlan was named neobast, and was a bit of a bodge job I was able to put together. Cheap hardware, I know. neobast died with a strange bit of HD failure which I can only pinpoint to a damaged first track which eventually is recoverable, but just. Of course, neobast had my Wolfox Reshouter on it too.
I recently purchased a 20 gig HD, and it came in the mail earlier today (Friday, Saturday being when I'm writing this in the morning, gotta go to bed). So I slapped it in there, checked it out, and put Gentoo Linux on hir, now occlan.
I don't know if it was Slackware causing problems, but with Gentoo, occlan shut down properly, as well as reset properly (aka I didn't have to turn it physically off to reboot it). I'm not sure what to think of it, but if it's happy with Gentoo, I'll stick with Gentoo.
