For the past month or so I have been using my laptop as a media center / dedicated counter-strike source server for my friends. This has been fun and all, but I have decided to take things up a notch. I have run linux on the laptop before, but only for short periods, eventually something would come along and I would switch back to windows. I have decided to run Gentoo 2007.0 with the Dedicated Server and some sort of media center software. I think I may also work the dedicated server stats into a section of this site, but that is just speculation right now. For the past 12 hours I have been emerging X and gnome, hopefully things will finish up shortly so I can bring the server back online and mess around with publishing the stats here.
