Moonlit Minds

I installed Crunchbang or #! on my mini netbook: Acer Aspire One. To make it right it’s enough to follow instructions from Wiki - link.
You can also, as me, download and install Kuki kernel from here. It’s very simple process (kernel is packed for Debian/Ubuntu system – so, Gdebi makes nearly work for you! ). The kernel is especially “tailored” for Acer One – and everything simply works.
I am really impressed both by performance of #! and its overall look & feel. And I’m so glad I finally decided to change default distribution (which is not bad but, well, a bit out-of-date…).
Here are two screenshots:

And – greetings from my mini!

Linux Makes Netbooks Even More Affordable

In the rest of the computing world of desktop computers and mainstream notebooks, you’re typically choosing between Windows Vista or Mac OS X, but in the world of netbooks, it’s Linux or XP. Those two operating systems are perfect for netbooks thanks to their lower CPU and power requirements.

As any Linux fan will tell you, the beauty of this OS is its stability. These Linux machines don’t crash, boot quickly, and are generally known to be all-around reliable computers

Well, I am about to buy one – and mine will definitely come with Linux “on-board”. Not because I am a Linux, well, “fan-girl”, but because of its reliability, speed and the amount of quickly developing and amazing software (programs) I can use out of the box.

And what do you usually need when you are “on-the-road”. I need:

• for the first – reliable and featuerich – browser – Firefox,
• next – file manager – there are plenty of them to choose – my actual is called Nautilus,
• perhaps some kind of media and/or music player – VLC,
• reliable Office suite – Open Office,
• and last but not least – IM – Pidgin.

This all come with preloaded Linux – this and much more. Isn’t it simply wondrful?

That’s why it’s only Linux for me…
