If anyone plans to try running Gentoo on the Nokia Desklet 3G I'd be interested in talking with you. -a

See children, this is what happens when you ask yourself daft questions like How many days in a month, and how many months make 60 days? You make big booboo typos.

091019 waltd...@waltdnes.org requested comments re : the 11.6 screen Acer Aspireone AO751h-1505 Netbook at http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProductcmd=pdpid=024766cid=NBK.862.670 I intend to install Gentoo on it. I bought an ASUS EeePC 1005HA there a couple of weeks ago have just finished checking out the hardware, which is ok. Your preference costs CAD 50 more, but features various improvements; they seem to have sold out of the ASUS except the pink version (grin). My next task is to look at the BIOS make a bootable USB stick with System Rescue on it, then decide whether to keep M$ XP around which version of Linux to install, probably Gentoo, but I'm wary of doing a lot of compiling on the tiny machine (alternatives wb Arch or Slackware). Does anyone know how far it's feasible to compile pkgs on a desktop -- I have a powerful machine with upto-date Gentoo for everyday use -- , then copy the results via USB stick into a netbook ? Sorry not to answer your question directly, but this is related (smile). -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
