Re: Thanks Husse & others, but I am finished with mint and linux
GW. I thought you had mint on an old laptop, why the sudden urge to bail? Are you really having those kinds of issues? I know there are aspects to daryna that I miss with the latest releases but not enough to hit the road.

Re: Should there be a Mint LXDE CE?
Mint needs a netbook edition, lxde could be a good platform. If you have the passion for this and put in the work, you'll find an audience here within the mint community. Seriously we need a minteee.

Re: My eeepc experience
I finally bought one, an acer aspire, the new 10" model with xp, 160gb and 1gb ram. I bought with xp hoping to tether my new samsung instinct phone for internet access. Turns out the instinct can't use phone as a modem software, google and a bunch of hacks to make it work, i'm pissed. The acer ...

Re: We're coming your way
Helios, it might be a good idea to have them come here and set up their accounts, maybe say hi, before trouble starts. One less thing to worry about in the heat of the moment. Some people can get a little uncomfortable posting on forums and we don't want anyone to feel like that here.

Re: System Crash
Sorry I lost track of this one. The reason I ask about the other distro is an effort to figure out if it is a hardware problem. Did you install suse before ubuntu or either mint edition?

Re: never download again
Would this function be handled by the SPPH (self propagating package handler) which would be the front end for the PPE (package propagation engine)?

Kwisher, thank you! Now I know I can buy without xp and I don't have to have a googleathon to make it work. 30% less efficient with linux? Is this typical ? Why woud linux be less efficient than xp?

Re: My eeepc experience
Ok, did a little research and the mini 9 is back on the list. Good reviews, even though the keyboard is a little hoakey. I've discovered that you have to get your hands on one these little things before you purchase. Tried out the Asus 8.9, keyboard too small and of coarse, best buy has the darn thi...

Re: My eeepc experience
Thanks for the input on the mini 9. I'm pulling it off my list due to the extremely irritating adamo promo on there site. I am now dumber for having clicked on it. How about mobile broadband adapters, do they work with linux? I'm considering one of these services also. What is the advantage of sdd v...
