Deeper understanding

This morning I continued with setting up a fresh OS install on my lab desktop.  Yesterday I mentioned there were no major glitches and so far my statement holds.  However, to get all the tricks and shortcuts I had accumulated over two and a half years into my new system it took some research online.  Luckily I already knew what I wanted to do and I had a vague idea how, but I need a few hours to work out the details.  In the end I am becoming more comfortable in a Linux environment and am pleased I have a better understanding of how to utilise my OS.  In the afternoon I worked on programming and setting up a series of experiments.  I wasn't to the point of collecting data, but that should come tomorrow.
