Notably, the first time I’ve actually dared use sed for anything remotely system-critical – and I did have a little help from teh internets. Practicing with sed and grep (essentially, practicing arbitrary regexp usage) is my early New Year’s Resolution on the Linux side of life – I’m at a stage where if I want to get “better” at Linux, this is the one thing that’s really going to make a big difference to my commandline-foo.

Anyways, aptitude is jumping around between around 5 and 10 hours of upgrading to be done… w00t. Shall have to see how many more times I need to invoke aptitude to get a functional system again!
