Comment Linux netbooks perfect for schools (Score 2, Interesting) 833

Just got a 10.5 inch Acer Aspire one D150. The sales guy said they were no longer shipping a Linux version. I have a strong educational as well as political commitment to Linux. The custom 3rd party Linux4one Ubuntu distro had terrible wifi throughput (and en0 just wasn't even there) when I installed it, so I tried again with openSUSE 11.1. This time the networking was ok, but the webcam and sound were non functional. No driver support from Acer so it's all word of mouth. Very disappointing. I'll keep trying though.

Comment Blackberry/Mac support (Score 1) 309

Does anyone have a shared calendar application to recommend (hopefully not hosted by a Web 2.0 startup that won't exist six months from now) that syncs calendar entries with Blackberry ON A MAC?

Maybe this segment is not significant enough for RIM and/or developers to spend time on, but I can't find anything that actually works reliably. Some software syncs contacts, but all seem to balk (or break) on calendars.
