Hello,
I am new to this whole blogging thing, well not really but sorta kinda. I have been reading other people's blogs for a while now. I am just new to writing my own. So let's see how well this works out. I am hoping to be able to use this to share software and hardware experiences with the interwebs.
I currently own and use a Dell Latitude D610 and a Samsung NC10 Netbook. While both are great pieces of machinery, they are a bit outdated. They do however work very well. I run Xubuntu 10.10 on the netbook and dual boot the Dell with Windows XP and Xubuntu 10.10. Although I am not a huge fan of Windows, there are some apps I just don't care to run in wine and have not yet found a suitable linux equivalent.
Most of what I do, is done with the Netbook, just because of the size and the battery life. The Dell I use to run Eclipse to "try" and learn something about Android development. I will post more about this later.
I use Xubuntu becuase I prefer XFCE over Gnome or KDE, especially on lower powered or outdated equipment. XFCE has less overhead than the 2 other desktop packages. It is fairly straightforward to configure, and as for the hardware, everything but the special function keys work right from the start. I don't use them anyway, so it hasn't been a big deal. This goes for both the Dell and the netbook, I have read about ways to fix each, but why bother if I don't use them anyway.
Anyway, that is my environment, and where most of my content will come from. As I discover new ways to accomplish tasks, or great ways to simplify large tasks, that information will be shared here.
So check back often, there just may be something useful to you on here.
