eeepc update ui

first time I am running it. it just crashed on me. I think the updates are still running since the ps outputs suggest it's still alive.

There is no way my wife would know that if she is the one running the update.......

Also noticed that asus disabled the update button on firefox and only allows you (in the UI) to install newer versions of firefox through their update server. The problem is that they are WAY behind..... (FF still on 3.0.4 when it should be 3.0.13 or 3.5.2)

not sure if the hype of ssd is paying off. Maybe it's the processor and memory spec that is slowing the down.
The thing shipped with Xandros linux by default. Not bad, kinda cute. The keyboard is a bit clunky, and feels cheap, but I suppose what is what you would expect from asus.

Why do the xandros UI folks choose to model their UI after Windows? There are plenty of good examples out there. Ever heard of OS X?

Getting to a command prompt was a bit painful. ctrl+alt+t... wa then sudo konsole. I suppose it's the KDE console. Then there is no easy way to get it added to the desktop where all the apps are.

One more thing. The reason I hate touch pads...... you hit them by accident all the time. That is why I preferred the nipple on the thinkpads.

jetlegged but I need to get some sleep now......

(went to a decent japanese joint last night....... i guess i look the part. they say "hi" a lot:)
