Guess that "More than 10 available" only applies to when it was first listed. 7 orders after mine and it's sold out.

Re: Newb's should tread carefully ... - 14 years ago
When it comes to Linux, the only way to really learn (and to get yourself out of the noob phase) is to ruin (yes, ruin. Not a typo of "run") several installations. Absolutely not kidding about this. When I first had Linux to install from floppies and CDs, the appeal wasn't quite there. It was still fairly static no matter what I did. When distros had live package installers aby rat - Debian
Re: Drive upgrade failed...Any ideas why? - 14 years ago
Check /etc/fstab and make sure that your static file system info is correct. You may (or may not) have UUID strings in there that are pointing to the old flash drive instead of the new hard drive. I'd check to see if the mount points are correct as well.by rat - Debian

Following eyeballs? You guys are starting to scare me now... Well, as far as the LCDs go. I have my DP151SX hacked and after considering what I'd need to do, I think I prefer the Shift3 (even despite the battery icon) if only because it's the simplest solution and requires no modifications or additions for me to have something that works.
