[SLUG] Ubuntu friendly 12 netbook
Considering the Dell mini 12 and the Samsung NC20, happy to hear alternatives. From what I've read, neither seems perfect. The Samsung seems to be using via/chrome/etc. stuff that I've had trouble with in the past, but maybe it's finally ok now? This will be a first computer for a relative. They've checked some out in store and prefer the 12 netbook style to anything else. 10 too small, full blown laptops too bulky/heavy. Desirable: * Divx Playback * Good battery life Essential: * Suspend/resume to ram on lid close works perfectly * Suspend to disk on low battery (even if in suspend to RAM state). ~$1,000 or less.

[SLUG] TUZ
Over 2009 lots of changes going on in Linux world. Linus Torvald has announced the latest 2.6.29 kernel that supports Btrfs file system. Btrfs made by Chirs Mason is planned akan replace Ext filesystems. Tuz logo will replace the Tux the Penguin is a contribution from the Linuz towards saving species Tasmanian Devil. Bravo Linuz. Tuz logo can be seen here. http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Tuz#Tuz Cerita2 about nature, Tuz own Tux is a close neighbor, because Tux living in the south poles are in the south of Tuz live in Australia, namely Tasman island, which is adjacent and Geographic bersuhu still cold. Tasmanian Devil alone can we see in here. http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Tasmanian_ devil which is a marsupial and carnivora animals that can only be found in Tasman Island. This rare species to extinction and one of the causes death of the animal is Facial tumor or tumor face. Through this movement opensource Linux experts have been natural to introduce Linux community around the world by taking one of them naming from nature. Of msh memories fresh in our latest release of ubuntu given the code Jaunty jackalope. Jackalope own rare animals that my new known precisely because of the release2 ubuntu. Back to master logo Linux Tux penguin. Of a documentary film about penguin life I can generalization between life penguin with the Linux user community life. What is? Penguins live in a climate that is. in the extreme south of the polar very cold. Highest temperature of no more than 0 degrees and the lowest temperature minus 50 degrees. To search for a food penguin must dive to the water it is very cold for their survival. Linux user community is so there. Live in limited, incompatible, and the driver is not supported lain2. But linux users still struggling looking for ways to linux operating system they can still exist are used throughout the day. Even the spirit of opensource, which caused the user does not need to pay a license is not the booming Linux exceed the user's Microsoft. While Linux is supported by the cheap Vendor heart like Canonical, Sun Microsystems, etc.. Yet still more loot interesting than opensource. This is homework for all Linux lover. Penguins live in the community which is very large. On the land of ice rub along each other penguin. Well, Linux users are living in a very large community and each other shoulder to shoulder each other to create a work in this distro Linux. Linuz also shoulder with the shoulder in the kernel programmer in the world to update the Linux kernel. We can also see the distribution of the community-based, such as Debian and Gentoo. We can also see distributions based vendors like openSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu. All mutual work in cooperation to develop Linux distro. Well through this article I invite to all users for linux to take the example of spirit alive for the penguin always keyed in climate loud and full of challenges and to always work together in harmonious and in the community. And to always know and love this natural as a form of community awareness of this nature. Back to nature. Green Tux computing and Tuz. sorry for may bad English translation -- Never Trust an Operating System You don't have the Source for... Closed Source for device Driver are ILLEGAL and not Ethical... act! Isn't it, MS Windows a real multitasking OS?, Why?

Re: [SLUG] Ubuntu friendly 12' netbook
My only one experience with an Acer laptop has left me with the impression; I will never buy another Acer laptop. I can't quantify it, but it has effectively been slow since the day it was bought. Granted it runs MS, but it was always slow.

Re: [SLUG] Ubuntu friendly 12' netbook
My experience with the acer aspire one running XP has been one of pleasant happiness. I'm not a normal user though; I install very little extra software on my user machines. Now to get Linux/Xen and FreeBSD working on it..

Re: [SLUG] Ubuntu friendly 12' netbook
I have a ~$1000 acer laptop and an acer aspire one. The former is utter garbage, the later is really nice. I suspect this aspire one goodness, rests mainly on an intel developed reference board which has had minimal customization. The cheapy one has all sorts of strange quirks.

Re: [SLUG] Ubuntu friendly 12' netbook
I would certainly not consider running gentoo or freebsd and rebuilding world. However my aspire one serves as a very chep, v small, v quiet and low power dhcp/dns/monitoring server. Add one usb2ps2 converter, and one connection to a kvm or an ssh connection, and its crapped keyboard is no longer a problem :) Dean Ken Foskey wrote: On Tue, 2009-06-09 at 12:10 +1000, Dean Hamstead wrote: I have a ~$1000 acer laptop and an acer aspire one.
