Hey all. I came across an HP POS computer from a closing corporate retail store. I got it for $60. I added an optical drive, a usb wireless internet stick and am adding a PCI card that supports HDMI. You get the idea why I got this thing. Here's the problem. It had a tailored version of XP on it (XP embedded with all of this "Borders" bookstore shit). Went into and tried to hack the pieces out that I didn't want but couldn't get XP to start up again. So I'm rockin' Ubuntu and so far am liking it, but I'm pretty noobish in general. I had help with the XP hacking I was doing and had some questions about Ubuntu. Thought this forum would be fun to ask questions and watch you all talk about shit.
Whachu think?

A new mobile phone to replace the venerable N900. The N9 uses the MeeGo Linux OS, developed and maintained by The Linux Foundation. Users of the N900 will be given the option of upgrading their Maemo installation to MeeGo. Not quite sure what to make of it...I'm not too fond of touchscreen devices. Possibly something for Big...?
