Kubuntu 9.10 desktop + largish file server at the home office. Kubuntu 9.10 on the Dell Lattitude laptop for travel. I sync up my one work directory which includes all the Thunderbird active & archived mail. I'll be getting a 10.1" netbook that will be running UNR (Ubuntu Netbook Remix) before my next motorcycle trip. I'll probably get one with the Atom N450 processor since they get about 10 hours of battery life, and Gmail will be the sync.
Kubuntu 9.10-based home entertainment center that drives an 800 W Denom amp & gets most of its media off of my office file server. --Doug -- Doug Roberts [email protected] [email protected] 505-455-7333 - Office 505-670-8195 - Cell On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 12:07 PM, Owen Densmore <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jan 30, 2010, at 10:56 AM, Owen Densmore wrote: > > In thinking about my "device ecology" in the iPad discussion, I mentioned >> the MacBook air. >> >> Just curious: How many of us have one or have used one?
