I’m just not ready for Linux
I bought my Asus EEE with Linux pre-installed. And after 4 months with it - I’ve almost got subversion working with my Windows repository (but not quite). I’ve spent a lot of time fiddling with Linux to get ‘expert’ mode working and move icons onto the display. I upgraded the memory and had to identify new kernels to actually use the memory (and failed). I installed UbuntuEEE and fiddled with drivers but still didn’t get Skype working properly. I had too many fsck events to make shutting down and booting up anything less than paranoia inducing.
Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle. (no work)
So I installed XP - aaaah. Out of the box working.
So many of the apps I use are portable ones anyway that it was easy for me to get most of the apps I need installed on an SD card really quickly.
I’ve actually been productive on this thing for the first time in months.
I guess I’m not ready for Linux yet.
