50 year-old prediction of PCs in 2004

Enjoy...my favorite part of the caption is the "with teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use." Indeed!

PCs in 2004

Fedora Dual-boot

Here goes nothing! I'm playing with fire and attempting an install of Fedora Core 3 on my Win XP Dell C840, despite numerous reasons to avoid it.

On the upside, I don't have much data to lose anyway because I just got a hard-disk upgrade and a fresh XP install so I've only got a couple days' worth of work, as opposed to 2 years' worth.

We'll see what happens...

Later...

Success! Installation was painless, and XP still boots! I'm now fiddling with updating software packages since FC3 was released, we'll see how that goes. up2date seems a bit clunky, and I've read that even the Fedora developers nuke it.
