    2009 - 10.07

    I got a netbook yesterday. I picked it (1) because of the price (2) it would be easy to drop 2 gigs of RAM in, and (3) it would make a good Hackintosh.

    My standard computer is a 4gb beast of a laptop, and was rather heavy to carry around. Yet, I have lots of projects and work that really require I have a personal machine. (Having system admins send me an email about my disk quota every time I put Processing on gets old. I’ve had to delete previous semester’s assignments to clean it up.)

    At present, Spinnel is running the Ubuntu netbook remix. To be honest, I’m liking the remix more than the standard Ubuntu distribution.  I’m still planning to put Snow Leopard on it, but if that fails, this will definitely be my OS.
