  I completely agree with Rob on the Netbooks, not worth the $$ to purchase the extras and also not a good platform for a Linux install at all really. Besides most people just want to turn there equipment on and it just work! Unfortunately, as luck would have it.. I never seem to be that lucky. And I must admit a chuckle on the last part of your comment, I'm sitting here at 2:21 am (Again) doing some upgrades to my new project "ubuntu Linux 11.10". Should be weeks of fun.. lol

  Part 2
  As with any tinkering with the Tech world and OS's you always run the risk of messing things up. So beware! And leave it to the professionals if its something you just can not live without. Mr. Marlowe (Senior Geek) is a pro and is still in the business to this day, because he is good at what he does!

  Due to lack of & inability to sleep, along with a need occupy my mind with "other things" I found myself recently resorting back to my younger days and decided to dive into a new OS to learn, funny enough as your blog goes... I chose Linux. It was a safe bet because it is a truly open source code and there is plenty of support out there as long as you don't mind spending hours on end searching for the right answer( assuming you even know the right question). Anyway to get to my point, I agree that Linux is not for the beginner or anyone who doesn't like a good challenge in the tech sense. But I'm a Geek at heart so count me in. I would like to offer a few things I have discovered in my adventures thus far.. First, it is rather simple to make a Live CD to run the Linux OS off of without the need to actually install the OS on your machine. One might ask, what good is that? Well its a nice way to test drive Linux and the particular Distribution you are looking at. You can get a feel for the system without making any changes to your machine. Second, in the event that your system has crashed and you are unable to gain access Linux (running off a Live CD) can get you in and you can make some repairs if you know where to look. This also includes the ability to rid your system of a nasty virus that has taken over. I have found that Linux is a particularly good Virus Removal Tool. Best of all, its open source and free. And with times like they are, thats a really nice thing. Part 1

  Ah yes... The Inner Sanctum! Boy that brings back some memory's Browsing the BBS at a blazing 300 baud dial-up, burning the retinas of my eyes green and amber, typing 10,000 lines of code or characters to make a cool pic for the members to see. In a way I miss it... oh ya i was definatly a "Geek".
