The netbook newbie's guide to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to their design as appliances, you can get down to useful work
| straight away with any of the new breed of Linux-based netbooks. But sooner
| or later, a fair few folk come up against the unfamiliarity of Linux. And,
| like the legendary tribe of pygmies, you may find yourself jumping up and
| down in the head-high long grass shouting out the incantation that gave the
| tribe its name: "We're the Fukarwi."

What a Difference a Year Can Make
,----[ Quote ]
| And let's remember: those first machines all ran GNU/Linux. Once again,
| despite Microsoft's prattle about "innovation", it was only later that the
| Windows world caught up. And only when Microsoft made a huge U-turn and gave
| Windows XP a new lease of life in the face of the fact that Windows Vista was
| not just a dog, it was a slow, fat, lazy dog that wouldn't even run properly
| on ultaportables.
