Ohio Linux Fest 2008 : The Good, The Bad, The Assy: Show Me Some Candy

The last time i saw this
it was this time last year.The next time I see it it will be a year from now but I must say that I can't think of a better reason to be up after 1.5 hours of
sleep and before the ass crack of dawn. The above pic was taken at
about half way through our trip... and thats about the time I went
to bed that night ;)

I started doing some video and taking pictures, but then i realized
that there were better cameras and all that shit so i decided to
aggregate everyone else's pics so ill stick theirs in as i find them
but i did shoot this stuff.



Here are my tweets during the weekend with some comments and other media:

So now I'm sick to my stomach (I need to puke). Monsterb and Klaatu are gonna meet me here in the food court, so mybe the day will pick up a bit.

I have some video and pics taken already so this should be a media rich event.

Ahhhhhhhh!

My rEEEview of the Asus Eeepc 900

Ok im a a week or so into my ownership of the Asus Eeepc and I think that I can now give a fair review. Because I'm a giant nerd the first thing I had to do is get rid of Xandros. Xandros is a huge pie o shit. This has nothing to do with the patient agreement with Micrsoft they have, this is solely about software... its shit. Nothing was intuitive, it seemed like there was a hodgepodge of software and none of it was integrated. So I tried to install eeebuntu. Tried is the operative word, the version of ubnetbootin was borked, and after a day of hacking on it, i had gotten nowhere and I was at work and had no net access so I was stuck trying to get
that download working. Once i got home i decided to try ubuntu-eee and OMFG is it great the older and better version of ubnetbootin was preconfigured for the ubuntu-eee hardy image and installed first try, NO ISSUES!!!!! Everything but the SD card slot works. Wifi,
webcam, sleep, power saving, all of it, so eff an SD card slot. You can see screenshots at http://www.unixporn.com/screenshots/thumbnails.php?album=5

And now on to hardware I got the 8.9 inch eeepc 900 with a 900 MHz Intel Celeron processor, 16 gb sshd, and 1gb of ram. this thing is awesome!! the keyboard is a bit of a pain in the ass. but i am getting used to it. these keys are tiny, but that isn't the real problem. the real issue is all of the non letter keys (tab, enter, backspace) are smaller than the letter keys. that drives me nuts! but again i am getting used to it. i really don't know what else to say this thing is tiny and pretty powerful. I could have gotten this with a 1.n GHz Inttel atom processor but I don't feel like i am missing anything 900mgz is more than enough

For all of the uber nerds here is my lshw:
