Aspire One

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Writing this on my new Aspire One that my beloved wife bought me today. It’s the 6-cell version, supposed to provide 7 hours of battery life. Have to see how that stacks up to reality. The Linux interface seems to work fine, especially once you learn how to get under the hood to the terminal – apparently the UI is a variant of Xfce. Had to poke around for a while to get the keyboard configured with a Dvorak layout, which in the end involved modifying xorg.conf.

Heather bought this for me partly to encourage me to write more, so watch out for an increased posting frequency.
