an ode to fedora....

She seemed unconscious... may be she wasnt able to breathe properly... or was it coma??? a step short of death... and me just grabbing hold of her soft hands... never letting go....

and everytime i tried to resuscitate her... she tried! i know she did!.... 

i was always sure of the guard that i provided her... her shell and there she lived in the core... safe... away from all the myriad evils the world was filled with...

her features... that soft touch... her sublime demeanour... that sweet voice... her shenanigans with shades and yet that ability to be graceful... her ability to stand strong in face of even the worst dangers that clouds of hell could showered on her...  aah! inspite of all this,  how will i ever forget what i did to her... ??? 

oh! the fault was mine... yes! its me who is to be blamed... how else could she...

and you know what a heinous act i committed ?

I STABBED HER.

i know that no alibi can ever rid me of the guilt am carrying... 

yet you ought to know it wasnt intentional... i was just playing around with the knife... and there she trusted me with all her life... 

And i took from her and my own self... something i donno if i could ever be able to replace...

*************************************************************

linux wasnt getting started... may be there was something wrong with the boot process... or was it complete corruption??? or had i done an incorrigible file permission change... and yet i was clinging on the ISO image of the boot partition... trying to fix in any way possible....

and everytime i looked up a new site on  the internet... i knew that i would be able to troubleshoot the problem.... 

i had installed linux on the VMWARE application... that is linux booted in the virtual machine/VMWARE... safe... seperated from the crash prone windows system...

Its features... the agility of commands... yet being easy enough to be easily used and understood... The plethora of features that make the linux system complete and powerful... And its amazing security architecture...  yet how can i forget what a foolish act i had commited??? 

oh! the fault was mine... yes! its me who is to be blamed... how else could it...

and you know what a stupid act i committed ?

I CHANGED THE PERMISSIONS INSIDE /etc/fstab.

i know that no excuse can restore the system...... cause i knew what the command did... i was just playing around with the file changes... being the root user... 

And i thus completely messed up the fedora system runnin on the VMWARE... i wonder how much time it will take me to get used to ubuntu that i hav installed in fedoras place...
