A mini phenomenon.

I’d like to thank Sal for getting me into the netbook revolution.  I’m almost ashamed to say that I paid very little attention to them prior to my very own eye-witness account of his eee.  After that I was hooked, and I settled on a Dell Mini 9.  Today the 10 was announced with a newer processor and 720p.. *sigh*

In any event, this mini is great, paired with my EVDO-enabled WM6 phone over bluetooth, even while sitting here in the exam room at the eye doctor’s, I’ve got very little to complain about.  Except maybe a misplaced dash or apostrophe key.

I’ll post a few pics in the near future, and also go through the process I used to Install and configure Ubuntu 8.10..

Oh Hi Doc.  Yes, it  is a small computer.  Good for when I’m stuck somewhere sitting around waiting for someone for 15 minutes.
