I've been using E17 for about 6 months now. I'm keeping an eye on LXQT also for my netbook. I'm running Debian Sid, and with the progress the debian e packaging team is making I'm thinking of setting aside some time to help them with packaging.

i actually don't remember. I have the line commented out actually, i replaced that machine with a raspberry pi about 6 months ago, never fully removed the line. i assume it would just not auto-mount, rather than try to mount and fail in seconds rather than minutes. I have smb for my wife's...

i can never remember the mount.nfs command so I add it to my fstab: 192.168.123.140:/media/USBdrive/ /media/USBdrive nfs rw,noauto,user 0 0 noauto=when i reboot my laptop away from home it doesn't hang for 5 minutes trying to connect user=i can mount it, don't need to "sudo mount -a" when I...

I put an ssd in my netbook with an e-350. my machine is definitely cpu-bound at this point but I prefer it to my faster hdd laptop when I have to choose between the two for most things.

I always search to see if programs work with wine using their site http://appdb.winehq.org/

i bought a lenovo x120e and replaced the wireless card with an intel one (and switched to a hacked bios to fix their whitelist "feature") so I'll second getting as much intel hardware in a laptop as possible. you could also check out linlap.com once you find a machine you like.

Everyone keeps on saying that tablets replace netbooks, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who wants an actual netbook, with a keyboard and 10"-12" screen and everything, for $400 tops. The best I can think of right now is a chromebook running linux but they keep on having bricking issues, or...

gosmartmobile.com from tmobile is $35 and unlimited talk/text/slow data

Obihai is one of the companies that I know that makes a box that connects to google voice and a standard landline that you could use.

was it a pogo-something? also something to keep in mind that could cause problems would be if you have a bandwidth cap.

stick linux on them

That's about what I get on wireless-g when the network isn't busy. is one of the two computers using wireless G or do you have another device on your network using G? Or are there a lot of walls/stuff in the 30 feet between the computers and the router?
