Just a reminder that we have a regular meeting scheduled for tonight -
usual time and place.

On a related note, I won't be able to attend; my wife is going out of
town tomorrow for the weekend, and I should probably stay and help her
get everything ready. :-)

i too will be unable to attend.

... and on my own unrelated note, i was wondering if anyone on the list 
would be interested presentations/how-tos.
i should note that i am not overly learned, and probably know no more 
than the average user and, thus, would most likely not be the person 
giving the presentation...
but i would like to learn.
is anyone interested? does anyone have something that they could talk about?

Well...

I'm slated to do an "Introduction to Netfilter and Iptables"
presentation at the Southeast Linux Fest in June, so I could use a
practice run for it, I suppose.

my pudgy fingers.
so if you're not looking for one of the snazzy new ones, maybe we should 
talk.

i know that this isn't going to help me get rid of it, but if i had to 
sell this aspire one to you via a list of pros compared to the newer 
netbooks, i would fail. the only bonus here is price...
the newer netbooks are all better. all around. (i am going on what i've 
read here... mine is the only one that i have personally ever touched)
larger screen. larger keyboard.
and soon we'll have the nvidia ion chipsets. this anandtech write-up 
makes them look pretty snazzy. 
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3509&p=1

so... you're probably better off getting a new model.

The only thing that really bothers me about the Aspire One is the 
resolution.  I'm completely happy with mine in almost all other 
respects.  The speed feels snappy in XP and OSX, somewhat less so in 
Mandriva, though I've not really done any tweaking in that yet.  It 
really depends on what you want one for -- if you just want a computing 
device that's small enough to be convenient for quick web lookups or 
whatnot, the Aspire Ones are still great machines, and I'd think they 
should hold their value pretty well...

Another handy use that occurred to me the other day -- when paired with 
a barcode reader, you've got a great portable data entry device!  
There's a gap between the screen and the keyboard that you can curl a 
couple of fingers around to secure a tight grip, then you can scan and 
enter 'til the cows come home.  Unless of course you've barcoded your 
cows, then you might want to wait until after they've come home to scan...

I had a similar resolution gripe with the Dell Mini 9.  I never got to plug
it into a real monitor but I presume it should be able to do at least
1024x768 on an external display.  Some web sites and applications were
fairly inconvenient due to the need for excessive scrolling on the low-res
screen (Quicken, I'm looking at you).  Does the Aspire do better resolution
on external displays?

I could see a netbook as a kind of natural low-power system that could dock
into a full-size keyboard, mouse and video.

And the barcode / kung-fu grip / portable data entry device process you
demonstrated last night was really keen!

How much are you wanting for yours?  I think I may be interested.  You have the non-solid state drive, right?
Is yours the white or blue one?  Also, what kind of battery life are you getting with it?  

Allen B.

i know that this isn't going to help me get rid of it, but if i had to
sell this aspire one to you via a list of pros compared to the newer
netbooks, i would fail. the only bonus here is price...
the newer netbooks are all better. all around. (i am going on what i've
read here... mine is the only one that i have personally ever touched)
larger screen. larger keyboard.
and soon we'll have the nvidia ion chipsets. this anandtech write-up
makes them look pretty snazzy.
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3509&p=1

so... you're probably better off getting a new model.

ah, right.
mine is white... with a standard 160G HD. 1G ram.
i'll get back to you on the battery, i've never drained it all the way. 
i will today.
it currently runs easy-peasy. if you have a 1G usb stick and unetbootin 
you can change that in minutes.

160GB?  Is this the one with the 3 cell or the 6 cell battery?  I was thinking that the one you had was the 3 cell, but I thought the 160GBs were with the 6 cell batteries and the 120GBs were with the 3 cell batteries?  If yours is the 6, then that is the one I was thinking of buying, anyway.
Looks like Wally World carries the 3 cell/120GB for $298.00  and the 6 cell/160GB for $324.00 these days (plus shipping.

I will probably either end up with SUSE or Ubuntu on it...  
It would be an added bonus if the battery life is such that I can make use it for note-taking and make it through a meeting on battery.  I'm seeing some mention of guys getting just over 2 hours with the 3 cell, after tweaking OpenSUSE 11.1 a bit.  That would be comparable to what I get with my 15.4" Dell Latitude, before I put in the media bay battery.

you're right, it is 120G.

actual model is AOA 150-1679 model ZG5
http://us.acer.com/acer/product.do?link=oln24g.redirect&changedAlts=&kcond5e.c2att92=843&CRC=2745306029

i've had it up on battery only (including boot) for 2 hours now and it's 
pretty low, so i'd say that it's a 3 cell.

That sounds like the 3 cell, but that is okay.  If I decide it does not meet my needs, a friend of mine who travels for work would be interested in taking it off my hands as a way to do quick web browsing in hotels, without having to trek down to the lobby.

Sooo...  how much do you want for it?

Allen B.

you're right, it is 120G.

actual model is AOA 150-1679 model ZG5
http://us.acer.com/acer/product.do?link=oln24g.redirect&changedAlts=&kcond5e.c2att92=843&CRC=2745306029

i've had it up on battery only (including boot) for 2 hours now and it's
pretty low, so i'd say that it's a 3 cell.

I'm seeing some mention of guys getting just over 2 hours with the 3 cell, after tweaking OpenSUSE 11.1 a bit.  That would be comparable to what I get with my 15.4" Dell Latitude, before I put in the media bay battery.

Probably around an hour.
We'd have to find a place to do this - I'm not sure I could get away
with using my classroom for it...

acer support.

Room 205 at Gorgas is excellent for media presentations. It can sure hold a
lot of people, though, so make sure you fill up. I'm sure with it being on
campus you can get a lot of students to come.

The question is how associated with "those people" do you want to be? :o

Oops.  Your message got buried in my inbox and I didn't realize that you replied....that is until I began sifting through my inbox.  
Anyway, $200.00 sounds good.  I have already exceeded my toy/play budget for this month, but if no one else has bought it from you by week-after-next, I will take it.

$200
i have the power plug, the sleeve, original packaging. i think that i 
threw away the manual, but i'm pretty sure you can get it as a pdf from 
acer support.

I'm seeing some mention of guys getting just over 2 hours with the 3 cell, after tweaking OpenSUSE 11.1 a bit.  That would be comparable to what I get with my 15.4" Dell Latitude, before I put in the media bay battery.

There is a config commented out in the httpd.conf that enables userdir html directories. 

Uncomment that. Create an htdocs folder in the user's directory.
