1. What you bought
Asus EeePC 1005HA (bought on New Year's Day, so this is a short-term review)
plus an OCZ Vertex 30GB SSD, which makes quite a difference to battery life
and performance. The netbook itself was ~$450 -- great price point for what
it is.

Very much so.
+1 on that :)
3. How has the battery life stood up over the 6m.
4. What sort of battery life are you getting (esp. now after 6
months)
Early days yet, but the battery life on this thing is INSANE. I loved

I've just installed a persistent 64 bit Ubuntu karmic koala on a USB
memory stick using the built in live cd creator. I could then install
additional packages like skype and flash player and still have them
there after a reboot. (the purpose of all this exercise was to test

At the beginning of this saga I had a server in America that I called
ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com. After this I decided to become

host in Sydney, this server became ns3.domain.com and ns4.domain.com. My

I find http://www.intodns.com/ handy for debugging dns issues.

Thanks Michael, I've used intodns for testing the servers when they were
functioning but they need a working domain name to give the report. My
records don't show up anywhere that I've been able to find.

I must say I'm curious

Would I be best using software RAID and LVM? Given that it's a fairly

Anyone know a good non destructive write test for benchmarking HDD ?
Hope this helps

Bonnie++ is what we use. You can use IOzone if you like complex charts. hdparm
isn't

Thanks John, I've tried that too, the only thing that comes up is ns3
and ns4.
Out of curiosity, could it be something to do with the fact that I used
to have ns1 and ns2 set up on an old server and those records haven't
been removed from the tld servers?
This level of DNS is something I do

Yes, although the price advantage that was present when I bought it is
much less evident now.
