Overview as at 11 October 2014 Bought a Soma "GRAND RANDONNEUR frameset" For some time now I have lusted after a 650B bicycle. Thought about several conversions from a 700c but never got round to it.

#deletefacebook Last night I followed Musks lead and deleted my facebook account. Second time. First time was because I had been the coordinator of an international group and I had several hundred "friends" who I only knew thru the group.

Mac mini 2.1 linux installation

Debian will boot if you you use the mac image see;  http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/ Described in the following blog; http://sadevil.org/blog/2016/01/24/replacing-os-x-with-linux-on-my-mac-mini-21/ I did eventually get Manjaro linux installed by using a 686 net install version. https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Installation_Guide_for_the_NET_Edition_0.8.10 It boots well on the 2.1 mini  boot and but you must ensure when installing that you set the whole thing up to boot in BIOS mode on all the i...
