Harry Potter and the installation wizard

Midnight Friday we were out getting the last installment of the Harry Potter series.
While my wife was lost in her Harry Potter book I chose to have some fun with my Linux I had just installed on Wednesday ....

Saturday morning around the time she was on page 180 I was looking through some documents and found that about a month ago PCLinuxOS 2oo7 has been released.

Decisions, decisions I felt I should upgrade before I got stuck in too much. Just around 5:30pm when she had finished the book I had finished the upgrade.

Problem for her was she was done (no more HP books) .
Problem for me is I lost the bit that was pretty and a few of the programs I liked have gone.
This version of PCLinuxOS is grittier than the 2006 version and means business.
By her comments so did the book

Whilst I have 'lost' these things I gain with other features...
I also lost my tv-card, not really a big deal but it was nice that it recognized it straight away first time around.

I will learn all about installing not from a repository but the "hard way" next weekend.

That computer has now made it's way down into the workshop.
