Looks like the only hurdle that prevented me from migrating to (Suse) Linux (9.3) has been carried out of the way ^_^
As I told![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rennuian and a couple others, I use something like this<(A> instead of a mouse. The problem about this is that I'm really used to it and have a tendency to get VERY slow when I have to use a regular mouse, even if it's a real expensive laser-whatnot-thing. But then, you can hardly see my cursor when I'm working with the pen, there's nothing faster and more precise than it. So the deal was "Either there's a Linux driver, no matter how open source or difficult to install or no Linux for me."
Now, I knew that the tablet in front of me is basically an Aiptek Hyperpen, branded as Lifetec LT9310. So any Aiptek driver should do. Unless the only Aiptek Linux drivers available are those for the USB version (I've got the serial one =_=), which seemed to be the case. Well, I did more Googling, but this time, I used a German query instread of an English one, cause the LT9310 was sold in Germany and maybe there were some cool people who made their own drivers for it.
Lo and behold, I was right =) I found a couple of (!) tutorials on where to put the driver files and how to patch the right config file. I also downloaded a .tar.gz that contains the driver files themselves. I think they were written in C, cause that's their ending. Anyway, I read about editing Linux config files in the best computer magazine in the world and I think I might just be able to do it.
The plan is as follows: I need one full day (probably Saturday) to install Linux and try everything out. I'll only stuck with it if I get proggies to do all/most of the things I do using Windows. And if it works, Jessy is gonna go penguin! XD
There's a new anime music release group: #LosslessONE@irc-rizon.net. They did some of the stuff nobody else did - especially the new UFO Princess Warukyure OP/ED - and that really made me happy. As their name says, their releases are lossless which makes them quite big (about 120 MB for a four-track single), but they have two fast bots, so I don't mind. Still have to listen to the new UFO Princess music, and I didn't get any of the episodes yet T_T
