For quite a bit less you can get a real laptop like the Dell Latitude X1. This one is also very small and light but has a real keyboard. This machine is _smaller_ than A4, weighs only 1.1 kg and runs linux very well.
The KDE Free Qt Foundation is an organization founded by Trolltech and the KDE e.V. in 1998 with the purpose to secure the availability of the Qt toolkit for the development of Free Software and in particular for the development of the K Desktop Environment (KDE).
I have to disagree. Almost all laptops are noisy. Read your average review. Is there a good list of laptops without fan? I only know of the Dell X1, but maybe there are more.
A lot of lip service but no action. Does anyone remember this announcement: Linux notebooks by Hewlett-Packard? Has anybody been able to actually buy a linux laptop from HP? I haven't and I've tried. German customer support told me, rather irritated, that no Linux laptops are for sale from HP. Buying a laptop running linux is still difficult and HP sending out false press releases does not make the situation any more comfortable.
Nice review! I just recieved a LifeDrive from Amazon last week. The unit feels very sturdy and has some nice features notably wifi and large disk space. But you're completely right about the software. In 3 days, the things crashed on me about 8 times and rebooting takes a couple of minutes. On top of that, the software isn't as powerful as I'd hoped. This is my first PDA and many things of which I'd think they'd be logical are not implemented. For example, addresses in real life have country dependend formats. Contacts has no support for this. Also in the contacts list, the name and one feature of the person are shown per line. But if the preset feature (phone work) is not set, nothing is displayed. I'd think that displaying the next likely feature would be good idea. Especially since the line also contains the letter W, H or M to signify what type of phone number it is. I expected much more from the lifedrive. Notably: stability, versatility, well developed PIM software and smooth music playing. I guess the Sharp Zaurus SL C3000 would be a much better machine, but it's also much more expensive ($600-$900). Now if only they'd hurry up with either a Nokia 770 with keyboard extension or a Linux distro for the lifedrive.
"The Pentium M and Windows XP are pretty expensive components. It would be hard to hit the Mac mini's $499 price point with that combo," wrote IDC's Kay.
But why use OS X an alternative? I happen to know a pretty cheap and powerful alternative. Hint: it starts with 'GNU/'. I'd seriously consider buying such a nice box if it would be supported by Free Software.
Yes, but how big is this kernel? Is it just a tiny kernel to find your USB stick and boot the real kernel, or is it the real kernel that will be used? If it is the latter its probably very big. I don't want to load the complete 1440 kb upon boot, but just the bare minimum needed to switch to the faster medium.
This would be useful for an old laptop of mine that has no harddisk. Only problem it doesnt boot from usb. What would be the minimal amount of stuff I'd need on my floppy to boot into the USB stick? Can it be done with only Grub?
How about Knoppix chips for quickly booting, read-only computer systems. Of course, other OS vendors could do the same and sell their OS on a read-only USB stick.
A quick check tells me that LCD is not energy efficient compared to TV. A 25" Philips TV (25PT4458/01) uses 61 Watt (1 Watt standby) and a 26" Acer LCD TV (AL2671W) uses 150 Watt (5 Watt standby)!

The question of course is: what is a new release? Just another version number?
The Dell X1 can do without fan because it has a ULV Pentium and is therefore supposedly very quiet. (I'll know how quiet shortly).
Shit, that q20 is uncanny! It correctly indentified the trombone i was thinking about!
I'm using konqueror 3.4.1 with default authentication and the site works very well. It's amazing what google can do with javascript!

Vienna (Wien) was originally a Roman settlement called Vindobona which is latin for 'good wine'.

What we need now (and Google has shown that it's feasable) is a Javascript based GUI.
Gnome and KDE can conquer all desktops once they are ported to this AJAX framework.
Where's the first javascript based window manager? Personalized Google is the first step in that direction.
Check out this one.

You'll have to save that for the freestyle task.
Ah finally autonomous robots that do something useful instead of playing football, destroying each other or lifting the elderly.
Last time I saw the event it was definitely worth going. But then, I passed it on my way home.
