Arch Linux. Not as scary as you think.

Yes I'm a nerd. Yes I use Arch Linux. There is a somewhat unfair view that you have to be a programmer to use Linux, and that Arch Linux in particular is very difficult. Yes I happen to be a programmer, and it might be true that Linux may be particularly useful for programmers considering most distros come with a lot of editors and compilers and such. But it really is a really stable and powerful OS for anyone (that's not computer illiterate). If you want to just use your computer without having to thinking about it, you will probably use whatever Windows version your computer came shipped with, and not bother to install anything else. However if you actually want to Learn how to use Linux, Arch is a good choice, because it assumes you know how to use the command line during the install process. In other words the process of installing it forces you learn som basics of Linux (if you don't already know). Still it is not very difficult. You don't have to compile

And if you're anything like me curiousity will drive you to want to learn more, and maybe e

Pancake recipe

So this is a nerd blog. Who says you can't be nerdy about cooking and baking!? I always liked food. Especially ethnic food that is new to me. But I never really though about traditional food from my home country as "ethnic food". But of course it would be to people from someplace else. So here I share my recipe for traditional Swedish pancakes. It is a bit of a tradition to have pancakes every Thursday in Sweden, but that tradition haven't really lasted in my home. Pancakes with whipped cream and strawberry jam So this is my pancake recipe. I use the same batter for oven baked as well as pan baked, although most people tend to have slightly more flour in the oven baked version. The best thing about my recipe is that it's really easy to make and to remember! The main difference between a crepe and a pancake seem to be that pancake batter doesn't contain any sugar (some people do put sugar in, but that's note the base recipe). Also crepes shoul

Installing Debian

Debian GNU/Linux is one of the oldest, most stable and trusted distributions out there. As a result many other distributions, such as Ubuntu, has been based off of it. The pro of Debian is that each package is rigorously tested before release so stability is basically a guarantee, the problem is of course that you will almost indefinitely end up with out of date versions of all your programs. Of course if you prefer more up to date software above guaranteed stability there is always the testing-branch of Debian, but I do believe most users tend to install the Stable version. I must admit I'm slightly biased towards Debian because back in 2000 when I took my first OS course this was the distro we used. I quickly forgot nearly everything I learned, but I do distinctly remember our teacher forbidding us to install a desktop environment with the motivation: "That would be like clicking Windows, and that's not a real operating system". Interestingly each Stable
