Pikachu is a laptop computer that runs GNU/Linux and the K Desktop Environment (KDE).. Actually, Pikachu has gone through numerous incarnations, each separately documented:
| Originally, Pikachu was a Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT, running Mandrake Linux 6.0. |
|
|
| I traded the Satellite for a Toshiba Portégé 320CT, and installed Mandrake Linux 6.1. |
|
|
| Then I replaced Mandrake Linux with Debian GNU/Linux, using the stable version 2.2 potato. |
|
|
| Finally, since the laptop isn't a production server, I traded some conservatism to get newer applications and lots of games by installing the Debian GNU/Linux testing version woody (soon to be Debian 3.0 stable). |
