Never a dull moment. In my previous posts I kinda managed to put some useful info for myself into my postings.

Anyways, looking back: Things changed. Now typing on my newly acquired slacktop

An old thingy really, but works well. Took it out of it's misery ( clogged up, beaten and almost passed-out XP installation ),. whipe, and slackware 12.2 installed. With XFCE it's quick, smooth and kicking again.. Haven't detailed any installation problems though I had a few,.. laptop =...

The future of Linux netbopoks and the price of Windows

Posted 07-03-2009 at 04:18 AM by erlik

Last week I made a summary of the current state of the Linux netbook market. Today I will show you that Linux netbooks are at a crossroad. They can reach a bright future and a significant market presence through 3 different paths: the smartbook path, the cheap path and the power path. On Tech-no-media I explain how each path will lead the Linux netbook to market dominance in a specific niche.
