dear friends,

Saat ini gue lagi nyoba yang namanya VL SOHO 5.1.1
Baru berhasil nginstal cuman binun banget kenapa samba nya gak jalan yaa, wahhh … dasar dudul lo rose, hehehe… Tapi kesannya tante VL rasanya lebih ringan, kenceng juga pas browsing. Mana smart banget, friendly dan fiturnya udah cukup komplit. Gue berharap banget, jangan sampe tante vl kena virusss, moga-moga juga jangan sampe salah instal, maklum deh, bukan pakarnya linux, bukan pula teknisi, jadi rada bego, masa nginstal aja musti ngeprint dulu manualnya dari internet, hahaha… tapi cuek aja ahh, namanya juga belajaran.

Gue sedang mencari distro yang ringan buat pc dan friendy buat orang awam. Nona Xandros bagus, tapi gue binun kenapa nona Xandros juga bisa menjadi ‘carier’ buat brontok yaa ? hikx… Teman bilang, pasti ada kesalahan, tapi gue juga gak ngerti dimana salahnya ? Ada yang omong, harusnya jangan instal crossover-nya, supaya gak dikenalin sebagai windows, tapi kan sudah gak pake mIRC, kan udah pake kVIRC, tetep aja brontoknya berkembang biak, hikx… dengan berat hati gue mencari distro laen yang lebih bandel. (maafin gue ya nona Xandros, kita udah kerja sama selama setahun ini, hikx… terpaksa putus hubungan say)

Berati kalo si tante VL ini berhasil disharingkan, gue punya tugas baru, masarin tante VL kepada orang awam. Gue berharap tante VL bener² ringan dan more friendly, uhm… mungkin perlu dimodifikasi sikit dekstop nya, tapi bagaimana gue bisa memodifikasi, ngoprex aja gak bisaaa ??? uh uh, saat begini, gue rasanya membutuhkan seorang teman yang bisa ngajarin bagaimana caranya ? Seperti perkataan Sida² Ethiopia kepada Filipus, ‘bagaimana mungkin aku bisa mengerti Firman Allah kalau tidak ada yang mengajar aku ?’ Jadi kalo ada tukang oprek linux yang baca blog ini, gue juga mau tanya, ‘bagaimana mungkin aku bisa ngoprek tante VL kalo tidak ada yang mengajar aku ?’

NB buat Tante VL : semoga kita bisa kerjasama yaa, kalo gue gak tahan dengan sifat²mu, terpaksa deh, gue berpindah ke lain hati lagi, misalnya dengan si Om Ubuntu yaa atau Om Kubuntu
