Cutebuntu

I’m complaining… and this rant probably has nothing to do with Linux, it’s probably just hardware related. I own Compaq Evo that has CD/DVD drive, more precisely LG‘s HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4320B. And it reads most of the CDs, even the older ones that my laptop’s drive didn’t read. But it doesn’t read DVDs nor certain CDs. It makes stupid exception with Depeche Mode‘s remastered collectors editions that include CD+DVD (2006), but it has no problems reading remastered collectors edition that includes only the CD. Only difference I have noticed between these CDs is the colour. Other one is silvery and other one is bit goldish.

…Well actually, I think I just realised what is the problem. Some Great Reward is normal CD and Volator and Playing the Angel are SACDs so I guess What’s the point of this SACD anyway, I don’t want bells and whistles, I just want to listen to good music. That doesn’t really explain why damn drive doesn’t play DVDs though.

I’ll start from the newish computer. I had tea related accident with my Acer laptop and because the guarantee ended just (day after the final end of my laptop actually) I ended up getting newish computer, which cost 124.90 €. The case is two year old Compaq Evo and was previously a office machine in one electronic store. It had Windows XP Professional (not anymore though) and 40GB hd, 512MB ram and apparently Intel processor. I have to say I know very little about it, but I don’t care as long as it works. And it does. Well I have been planning to get bigger ram and hd. 100€ btw. 24.90€ I spend in new keyboard, Logitech Ultra-Flat, while some of the keys are placed oddly (like “page up” and “page down”), it’s okey. Screen is my boyfriend’s old one it’s 15” and 1024×768 resolution. Fine for me for now.

Then to March desktop. I am still using CrunchBang Linux and very happy with it. :)
