Ubuntu 8.10 upmc for the Asus EeePC? Don't bother, just install the full distro

http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com

I discovered recently the truth of the old saying that necessity is the mother of invention. Yes, I finally did it. I bricked my beloved EeePc. I had just installed the Smart package manager and a subsequent reboot saw me stuck in, well, an eternal boot loop. Impulsive mixing of repositories always ends in tears - but not being able to boot?

Recently, I have been getting very tired of anything with the words "Windows 7," "killer," and "linux," no matter what order those appear in.

dstat: versatile tool for generating system resource statistics

http://debaday.debian.net

During my work with computers, I like to check the usage of system resources in my network. Sometimes a running process takes up too much CPU load, or the disk I/O goes too high.
