Nov. 22nd, 2011 10:36 pmBeen outta touch for a number of reasons, but chief among them recently was that I had a break-in at my house (while I was away at work, I'm fine) and they stole my netbook. :(
Disappointed to realize that solid-state drives on 9-inch computers are a thing of the past; the few netbooks that exist with solid state drives have craptastic battery life because they made them all little to look almost-but-not-quite-entirely-unlike macbook airs...
In any case, have acquired new netbook. It is pretty. It came with Windows 7, which I sort of poked at for a few minutes, and then said, "Right then!" and went off to download Ubuntu. My first full install of a Linux operating system. It went pretty smoothly. Though I dunno, this particular flavor may just be too much shiny for me to deal with. May need to go Lubuntu instead.
