master is especially good, and competence
at demanding skills that involve mental
acuteness, craft, and concentration is
best.

#I decided to try if my laptop supported FB, so I compiled 2.2.14 to use it.
#I put 'vga=ask' in my /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo.
#When I booted, I wanted to know which ones where the options to use FB, so
#I enter 'scan'.
#How many time should I wait before rebooting my laptop?, because it doesn't
#show me anything after a long time
