A weekend with ASUS eeePc and Debian GNU+Linux

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Its been an incredible weekend! I installed Debian Lenny on the eeePc. Its fast and stable running GNOME, using only 149 of 512 MB RAM available on the device. I love this little notebook now. It just the way I like it

asus eeepc running debian linux

Why ?

For academic purposed a.k.a just for the kicks. Jokes apart, because:

  1. The original OS is based on debian
  2. There is a debian installer available for the eeepc
  3. I am a GNOME person
  4. I am comfortable with debian
  5. Having full fledged debian is just neat !

I can’t get enough of this little thing. The little piece of hardware can do almost everything I can do on my desktop. IMHO this is a perfect companion for road warriors who are always on the move and need access to a browser, mail and a productivity suite

Techie Humour. The Bastard Operator from Hell (System Administrator)

Monday, July 28th, 2008

I happen to stumble upon an amazing piece of literature following links from the www.sysadminday.com There is some serious techie humour tucked away called “The Bastard Operator from Hell” written by Simon Travaglia .

It talks about a system administrator who pipes his backups to /dev/null, delete’s accounts of user’s who call in for tech support and a lot more. (more…)
