Leo: technology and gadgets to stay comfortable

Put these three words in the same sentence, without any denial is heresy to many.
We know that talking about games and Linux, well leave things as they are, but there are obviously games are few and often relegated to a niche of pure entertainment for five minutes.
Talking of eeepc, well many people still think that we are facing a "Clementoni 'a bit' too grown up, but that certainly is not worth anything.

Often with a touch of envy must confess, I look at those with a PC with Windows starts doing things that Linux often can not be done because the hardware is not always properly supported. Sure, the network has always been a hand, but sometimes it bothers

The car computer, are "small" PC installed, or better say integrated into the car, as if they were a radio at its finest.
Obviously the biggest problem is that solutions have already been made there are very few and usually only on luxury cars, while if we want something on our car, the only way is to arm yourself with patience, passion for the do -it-yourself techniques and knowledge I would say rather than discrete.
The results are often very high level, not parlaimo of something false, but a true seamless integration with the car!

Also in the endless quest for final distribution to install on my eeepc 701 I was trying to figure out if the steps I did to install mandriva 2008 and 2009 could also be applied to other distributions. have a key at startup, starts the distribution and then download the packages from the network is much more convenient than downloading the iso, create a key that contains and is "bootable" to do the install on those PCs that are not equipped with a CD and find that, of course, the idea has already been developed and expanded!

It can happen that "playing" with your eeepc you noticing that the USB ports instead be of type 2.0 are those 1.0! The difference is remarkable how well you know, you go from 60 MB / s to only 1.5 MB / s transfer of large amounts of data, the difference is not significant, but essential!
Well, do not despair! Do not have an eeepc lacked, in fact, reading the specs, it is written that all USB ports are 2.0, then?
Well, the bios version you have installed is the oldest, you must then update!

How many times we've had to see what is making our PC? How many resources occupied, how much ram, but also the temperature of the CPU in case of an overclock.
The needs are many and usually everyone has their own solutions, with top I see the load on the machine and processes, with various "cat" I see the temperature, but it would be useful to monitor all conveniently, perhaps directly from the desktop.
To do this, obviously there is a program: Conky !
