I put my NetBook in suspend mode yesterday evening so I could take it home and finish some work on compiling. Yeah now I remember why graphical logins suck fanny.

So I’m getting along fairly well with my Netbook and while I understand that I’m not going to find ready made binaries and happy little plugins for everything I would like.
