Comment Re:I've tried a few, I recommend Ubuntu Netbook Re (Score 1) 466

I'm a little confused by that, too.. unless someone's feelings were hurt because I said Gentoo is a pain in the ass to install, which is true. Heck, it didn't even support the onboard ethernet. Gentoo is my favorite distro, which is why I went through all the trouble to install it in the first place.

I still recommend the netbook remix. If, however, you want to try Gentoo I highly recommend moving the portage temp dir to a ramdisk to speed things up and minimize reads/writes to the SSD.

Comment I've tried a few, I recommend Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Score 0, Troll) 466

I use the ubuntu netbook remix. I have tried Xandros (default), eeeXubuntu (worked pretty well), and gentoo (pain in the ass to set up, but that's what gentoo is all about).

I recommend trying the netbook remix of Ubuntu. It's the one I have kept using the longest because I like the interface and it works well with the low resolution (I have an eee 701).

Comment Monkey Wrench (Score 1) 703

My favorite farewell letter was the one I sent out that simply quoted Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters. I would ask my boss for information and he would just talk of of his ass because he was really quite ignorant (and a jerk). He would tell me I asked too many questions, and I would tell him he provided too few answers. It turns out a lot of my co-workers were big FF fans, so they really got a kick out of it as well.

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit
Into my head I still remember every single word
You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was
Always caged and now I'm free

Bad Signs For Blu-ray 1276

Ian Lamont writes "More than six months after HD-DVD gave up the ghost, there are several signs that Sony's rival Blu-ray format is struggling to gain consumer acceptance. According to recent sales data from Nielsen, market share for Blu-ray discs in the U.S. is declining, and Sony and its Blu-ray partners are trying several tactics to boost the format — including free trial discs bundled into magazines and cheap Blu-ray players that cost less than $200."
