Anyway, was woken up by parents who wanted to know if I knew where the zap strap was because the ram needed for my computer had turned up (ordered it yesterday so wasn't expecting it today, only needed it because I'd fried the previous stuff), so after my dad had installed it, I plugged in the new harddrive that would be used for windozes so that the existing one could be used for linux (told you it would be y). I then intalled linux and windozes successfully. The next challenge was the internet connection in linux as the new computer would need to get its connection from the existing linux machine (which had the modem) over the network. So after some tinkering I got it to work and well its fantastic. So after this success I went back to trying to install a gimp plugin which had really, really annoyed me yesterday (to the point where I was talking to myself in a deranged voice like a madman). After a few failed attempts I tried a different approach, I went to look at the gimp packages that weren't installed and saw one that may solve my problem, so I installed it and tried installing the plugin again. It worked. So all in all, today was a good day.
Successful day!!!

Sounds impressive! I had a similar successful day a couple of days back where I managed to build a computer from scratch and get Windoze XP etc etc working on it for my brother all in one day! Usually that takes me at least a couple of days...
