Harlan Crystal: works fully?
I hyde I: yea, works great
Harlan Crystal: like QNX?
I hyde I: yea
Harlan Crystal: cool.
I hyde I: i mean, works well considering
Harlan Crystal: you have to set up a bunch of config shit once its up?
I hyde I: nah
I hyde I: nothing

I hyde I: i booted hyde with it
Harlan Crystal: wow
