So…
I jumped on the Eee PC Bandwagon about a week ago, and bought a black 701 series.
For those that have no idea what I am talking about, the Eee PC is, simply the smallest fully functioning laptop that I have ever laid my hands on. Let’s get the specs out of the way.

So, I got adventurous last night and installed the Gutsy Gibbon Beta on my laptop. The hard disk that came with the machine had died, and I have replaced it with a new 7200 RPM Seagate job, so a reinstall was needed anyway.

So…
In what seems like the shortest incubation period of anything, ever, the Debian dev’s have released Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, aka Etch, as stable.
I immediately downloaded the three DVD images (I’m weird that way, i like having the full distribution to install, instead of doing a net-install) and went nuts with the install, loving that I could get “back home” as it would be.

I’m a complete media whore.
1000 CD’s, more than 20,000 mp3’s, 200 DVD’s and several dozen full length DivX and mpg movies.
I’m constantly surrounded by media, and I absorb it without barriers.
Our current batch of portable, media friendly hardware, sucks ass though. I’m looking for something simple, and I have spent a few weeks, and countless searches on google, to no avail.
So, I have been using Opiate for the last four months as my primary machine.
All in all, I am exceptionally happy with this machine. It has proven with a couple of small exceptions, to be an incredibly robust, and reliable machine. It accomplishes everything that Stinkfist did for me, as well as being mobile.
Let’s start out with the bad, and get that out of the way, shall we?
