BTW,
I got one of those cloudbook thingies.
I think it is great except for a very limited wireless range, which is a
serious achilles heel.
I took it apart yesterday, and added an antenna to the wireless card,
but that only gave a slight improvement. I may have to use the windows
drivers for the wireless card, which I really hate the idea of doing.
Also, This cloudbook had gOS, but that got clobbered the other day. The
update manager tried to install Ubuntu 8.04, and the kernel and image
files were lost. I installed Ubuntu 8.04 from the alternative disk, now.
Still some issues like getting sound working, but I like Ubuntu better
than gOS anyway.
I've been looking over some cool mods that some guys are doing to these
things. I'm itching to change my screen over to a touch screen.
Some guys are putting XP on their cloudbooks, but I just can't see it.
Then you have to run antivirus, eventually get winrot, and have to
reinstall again. Gotta keep in mind that these UMPC are niche devices,
not general purpose.
cheers,
Mark
