I had hard time finding it in a local computer shop. When I found it the clerk said “the Windows one ….. finished” But I wanted the Linux one “mhhhh….the white one is sold out !”, he said then. What the … this is not a Mac, “I want it blue !” I said.

At last he gave up and handed me the small treasure box.

Not a cheap computer, 300 Euro – no way to find it for less -  this could be a great present instead of a super sleek mobile phone.

This one worked out of the box immediately, the WLAN connected immediately to my access point, just set the encryption mode and key. My HP printer connected immediately : I just followed the instructions from a good forum and could print the test page in 10 minutes overall .

Made a few more hacks like getting rid of the Acer desktop and took out the XFCE desktop and made some others hack.

I had hard time getting my Bluetooth at work but I was sure linker3000 would make it and today, Oct 4, he posted an update with drivers and instructions ! I love this Linux community. Now I have my GPS receiver Holux GPSlim240 send its messages to the console !

Next step : have Processing run, as for now I’m getting the following

java: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.

./processing: line 17: 23577 Aborted   java processing.app.Base
