| Leave a CommentWell, I finally got all (but one…) of the parts of my new computer. My new case, the Cooler Master COSMOS “S” is in one word: absolutely awesome. I love the fact that all of the drives can be pushed in, and with one press of a button, the drive will lock in. This comes […]

| Leave a CommentToday I was setting up a PmWiki install for a website (more about this in the coming days), and it reminded me about AegeanLinux’s old site.
