Looking for Linux, but sold out
http://blogs.the451group.com –
I had an interesting time scouring the Internet for the right netbook for my wife, who’s got a birthday coming up, is due for a new computer and is anxious to use Linux more regularly.

At any rate, KDE 4.2 will include a bunch of new features, and some sorely needed bug-fixes.

How to set limits on users
http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com –
The ulimit programs allow to limit system-wide resource use using a normal configuration file - /etc/security/limits.com. This can help a lot in system administration, e.g. when a user starts too many processes and therefore makes the system unresponsive for other users.

http://www.linuxloop.com –
Some time after Linux netbook started appearing, it became obvious that there was a problem. Every time a new manufacturer gets in to the business, they try to build a completely custom Linux system that is "easier." It is impressive the number of times this has been attempted and how many times it has horribly and completely failed at the goal of making things "easier."

Not that I’ve ever actually found it necessary to use Windows yet - 99%+ of my time is spent using Linux.

Every time I visit eeeuser.com, new users always seem to pick a particular operating system for their Eee PC, then stick with it through to the end.
