My new 24 inch LED monitor has been courier delivered to the office. Assuming that nothing goes wrong between now and when I get home, I am back in the 21st century! Hooray!
I also picked up some new speakers to replace the rather old and decrepit ones that have served my last three computers. Nothing special, but they do have a rather frightening looking sub-woofer. Not sure where I’ll put it.
Ah! Technological bliss!
On that subject I’m thinking of formatting my Asus Eee and installing Linux on it before I head off on my cruise in the new year. It’s not powerful enough to handle Windows 7 in any useful way, and I don’t like the idea of wandering around parts foreign running XP. I’ll only be using it to write, to store photos and to access the net when nothing with a bigger screen is available, so Linux should serve all my needs admirably. I’ll need to do some research…
WOO HOO! YAY new monitor!
I recommend Ubuntu Linux, which i believe is at version 11.04. User friendly 1337ness!
Yeah, Ubuntu is the front runner at this point. I may be doing the install as early as next week.
I can also recommend using Ubuntu, I’ve been running it as a web/email/ftp server for the last few years.
Thanks all, I have been convinced of the merits of Ubuntu and Nauseous Narwhal is currently being installed on the netbook by my co-worker Bruce.
(I prefer my own, more amusing names for Ubuntu versions. Deal with it ;))
We’re completely annihilating XP – not even keeping it on a partition.
