(e:paul) - thanks for the offer but being the Linux distro whore that I am I put Ubuntu Studo - Puppy Edition on the 900a after I commented last. I've been using it on my mom-in-law's old box (celeron 2 ghz) as as music studio with decent results. The power supply recently blew on the celeron box so i'm using a psu from another box externally since I don't have another micro-atx psu floating around at home.

Why use the puppy edition instead of the full blown Ubuntu Studio? In a word - latency. It uses a real time kernel and on the celeron box with Ubuntu Studio the latency is around 23.9 for Ardour and with the puppy edition it is around 5.8. And, of course, less latency is better latency.

Its totally worth it. She had a 900 and it made it work like a completely new device. I installed it by putting the ubuntu netbook live CD on a USB drive and booting off of that. I have it still if you need it.

(e:heidi) - I hope you enjoy yr new and improved eee.

(e:paul) - shame on me for thinking that you put fedora on everything.

I was farting around with my eee 900a and right now it is distro-less. Maybe I'll try fedora netbook or unbuntu netbook on it.

It's very speedy. It feels so modern in comparison.

paul - 09/07/10 22:45
I do love Fedora and they do have an eeepc build, but its actually ubuntu netbook edition :::link::: as I thought it would be easier for (e:heidi) to maintain.

uncutsaniflush - 09/07/10 22:27
Since (e:paul) and cheese are mentioned I'm going to guess Fedora!!??

paul - 09/07/10 22:16
Of course I had to add that! It seems pretty responsive.

i wish i was there too... i can deal with clouds, i don't see them much!

It deceptively looks like a warm summer day when in fact it was close to late fall temperatures.

paul - 09/06/10 22:03
I wish you were there too.

james - 09/06/10 20:59
Wish I was there with you all.

paul - 09/06/10 19:24
And seriously, there was only one moment of that.

More gratitude!!!!

Alisha, Caleaf & Matt; Brittany & Allison; and (e:samathon86) helped me finish off the moving with two truckloads. Yes, I have too much stuff, but I'm used to having a whole house... I think I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping it smaller.

So far the only sacrifice to the moving gods was my microwave. Smash*Bang. I bought it back in 1994 (which almost makes it older than half the moving helpers). The price of microwaves has really dropped since then. I think I spent $120 on it then. I can get a somewhat smaller one now for $50.

(e:terry) and Casey kicked some ass today - I am awed by the amount of stuff they moved. Thanks much to Lana, (e:tinypliny) & Alisa, also!!! Tomorrow is going to be relatively easy.

(e:Lauren) - that's great the 'rents are finally meeting!!!! How exciting!!! Housewarming party is a yes, not sure when yet - prolly in September sometime.

tinypliny - 08/27/10 18:02
damn, I am still in the office. is it too late to get there? I will try and be there in around 15 min or so...

lauren - 08/27/10 17:09
Aww you know I would love to, but my parents are coming to town for a visit and *gasp* to meet Felly's parents for the first time! Good luck and congrats!! Housewarming party hmm? :)

Welll --- around 5:20ish because I have to get home and change my 2"heels

tinypliny - 08/27/10 16:52
I am going to come over at 5:00 PM today and help you out for a bit. :-)

heidi - 08/27/10 14:43
The door has all the indicators of being a push door, and generally doors don't need to be "operated".

paul - 08/27/10 12:27
I wonder why they added that. Maybe they got lots of people asking how to get in.

james - 08/26/10 16:30
They have had a similar event at Fugazi for years. Odd.
