"We exchange a few posts and I do some stuff that is really not
worth talking about. (It was, like, super-boring.) My computer
chugs away, working on what I set it to do, and I head to the
kitchen to reheat some crispy squid from last night while I wait
for Mr. Forum Guy That Knows Way More Than I Do to get back to me.
(The crispy squid was delicious, but could definitely have used
some sweet and sour sauce, or perhaps a nice hoisin, if you must
know.)
"Forum Dude gets back to me, and it looks like that option to
try using Ubuntu without installing that I ignored as hard as I
could is not only pretty clever, but is also actually useful! It
turns out I'm going to have to load up Ubuntu in test-mode, where I
will venture into the dreaded lair of my nemesis... The
Console."
