Good Luck! Good Luck! Good Luck! Sounds like an intense exam - that's the length of the Step I boards.

EEEPC help?
Category: tech
I've had my Asus eee pc model 900 running a random Linux distro since Sept. '08 and it still works fine. I like using it for taking notes at school, and i'd use it more at home, but I can't figure out how to upgrade essential software like FIREFOX! Can't watch Hulu without an updated flash installation. Google docs is protesting the old firefox. I'm open to switching to a different OS, but I like having this one non-M$ machine. Can anyone help me?
heidi - 04/12/10 22:42
Thanks for the recommendations & thanks for the reminder, (e:uncutsaniflush). I'm okay with unstable & quirky for the eeepc. I don't keep any docs on it, it really functions as a netbook and is completely noncritical to my work. I can't wait to try out that browserlinux. Sounds perfect.

tinypliny - 04/12/10 22:21
That's good advice. Thanks, (e:uncutsaniflush). I am a HUGE wimp when it comes to switching. My lack of will shows is just how long I have managed to hang on from the strained and unraveling WinXP strands. :/
uncutsaniflush - 04/12/10 22:04
(e:tinypliny) and (e:heidi) I feel moved to say that y'all should be careful with development builds - some are amazing and unstable all at the same time. Sometimes it is impossible to upgrade a system without a complete reinstall. And I won't even mention the possibility of annoying bugs.

That being said, there is little risk of running a development build as a live system or off a usb drive as long as you trust the source.
tinypliny - 04/12/10 21:28
Or you could give this ChromeOS build a test-drive.

((e:Zobar) linked this on his blog recently.)
uncutsaniflush - 04/12/10 21:04
I'm using moblin 2.1 :::link::: on my eee 901. I'm using both Chromium and Firefox 3.5.3 and Flash Player 10 on it. The interface is more like a smart phone than a standard desktop. I like it. I've used others like easypeasy and pupeee but I prefer moblin for the nonce.

You may want to check out :::link::: for good overview of the distros for the eee. The site includes screenshots and video. The browser linux mentioned looks interesting. I might give it a try myself.

Something about green icing always disturbs me...

CPU heatsink, PCI lanes, CMOS battery, a couple of generic capacitors and even what looks like an old-school CMOS chip up top with the dots. Looks pretty darn accurate to me!
metalpeter - 04/09/10 19:30
looks tasty I have no idea if it is accurate.

Bodhi!

Bodhi was born on Monday - isn't he adorable? (e:heidi,51217)

But there's something wrong with his lungs. Jill got out of the hospital today, but he was transferred to a larger regional medical center with a NICU a few hours after the c-section. At first they said he had pneumonia, then that he had fluid in his lungs from the c-section, and now they said something about emphysema. *worry worry*
tinypliny - 04/10/10 08:17
Awww! He is so cute!!

:( Too bad about the pneumonia. Good luck to Bodhi! I hope he gets well soon!

(e:libertad), emphysema is a blanket term used when the smaller airways in the lung collapse everytime you exhale. This is because the tissue around the smaller airways are damaged - either by chronic inflammation (eg. smoking) or an acute inflammation (eg. inhalation of the amniotic fluid) or even congenitally weak cartilage tissue around the airways.

libertad - 04/08/10 13:55
Emphysema?! That's crazy, I didn't even know that babies could get it.
