Previously I have not been using my laptop frequently so no surprise that the OS needed upgrading.
Bumped the version of the distribution to something closer to current, will check it out and then bump in again to latest stable version.
The longest amount of time during the upgrade process was backing up (just to be safe) all the random files I had acquired. Overall took about 2 hours
Noted an interesting package installed called schroedinger which contains libraries for Dirac codec, one to check out some time.
Notes on various technologies and other cool stuff I am playing around with. My own technical stream of consciousness.
