- z00k, on 01/29/2009, -2/+18I've seen the Eee run Ubuntu with Compiz, flawlessly, and We're suppose to use this Intel?
... - stoanhart, on 01/28/2009, -3/+14Why are they making a new desktop environment agnostic network management daemon? NetworkManager works fantastically well, and has an interface in both GTK+ and QT.
- BoneheadFarker, on 01/29/2009, -0/+10Yeah...the world is in total economic freefall, and they are conducting business the best way they can in such an environment. What did you expect? That they'd just close up shop because other people made some bad business decisions? Actually, this is the perfect time for those business to consider switching to open source and saving some money...
- IkariGendou, on 01/29/2009, -0/+8Booting in less than five seconds?
- BoneheadFarker, on 01/29/2009, -0/+6Came off more as sarcasm than a compliment. This is the problem with internet forums...
- Stonekeeper, on 01/29/2009, -0/+5Yes, I'm one. WICD is rock solid.
- BobMysterioso, on 01/29/2009, -0/+4My wife and I we have these arguments. She gets really angry. I think, I thought we were just talking. Turns out, she thinks I'm arguing probably because the tone of my voice and the fact that, I can be a bit of an ass.
Your post, same thing, seems totally sarcastic. - connieLingus, on 01/29/2009, -0/+4i dont understand...i was complementing the OS community.
- stevensj2, on 01/29/2009, -1/+5I know of plenty of individuals who immediately replace NetworkManager on a new install, or forego installing it altogether.
A mobile (netbook) platform built with more control, certainly has stricter requirements than these home users.
It should be no surprise that they're not using it; the converse is what would be surprising (that is, if they kept NM). - trevorh, on 01/29/2009, -0/+4If you read the article it said that they intend to replace the Xfce desktop in this distro.
On a side note I think Xfce is a great choice for a netbook because the it is so light weight. - jackdaniels06, on 01/29/2009, -0/+3This is awesome and it is just the beginning! Open source OS and apps will become predominant. It's been around for a while but with netbooks and new generations smartphones and wireless devices, faster and cheaper chips, advanced browsers along with a shift to "the cloud" and an evergrowing community of of open source developers the conditions are right. The world is going to change for the better beyond anything we ever imagined or could imagine. Beautiful!
- drlha, on 01/29/2009, -0/+3Not a Zelda fan then?
- 0xception, on 01/29/2009, -0/+3NM last time i checked couldn't handle /32 netmask either... this caused a lot of issues for hotspots that use the /32 netmask w/ a default route to the gateway to isolation wireless clients.
- gameguy15, on 01/29/2009, -0/+3I have a Aspire, and let me tell you getting Ubuntu to work right is not for the faint of heart, takes a lot of tweaking and still lost 30 minutes of battery life, suspension mode, and working mic. BUT Ubuntu is so much easyier to use then the damn Linpus that comes with it.
- 0xception, on 01/29/2009, -0/+3it's a standard in the sense that the vast majority of other OS's and the older network deamon supported it. what you do is basically set a /32 netmask to isolate the client and then set the default route to the gateway so all traffic gets sent there... i know it's a little counter intuitive and i haven't looked at the standards/specs or anything so I'm not sure if it's suppose to be allowed but i know several hotels/hotspots that used this method. but since network manager first checks to see if an IP is accessible before it adds the route it doesn't work.
there are a few requests for it in a bug ticket for NetworkManager that i've seen. maybe there is another way to do the same thing... I'm not sure.
EDIT:
found one bug report
https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/15 ...
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=533793
the solution I had to do before was to set the default route manually after DHCP was obtained. but it looks like it might be patched now according to the bug. - trogdoor, on 01/29/2009, -0/+3@0xception
I assume you mean /30 as /32 would have no host portion at all ( and any IP, including the gateway would be on a different network ). If a /32 mask is a standard configuration I have never heard of it, which might be why it's not supported by NM. - BobCFC, on 01/29/2009, -0/+3RTFA, the interface is temporary. They are dropping xfce when the new desktop they have built using Clutter is ready, the OpenGL based scene-graph tech developed by the UK Open Hand company that Intel they acquired last year.
- lostpunisher, on 01/30/2009, -2/+4Umm. As much as I like Linux. I think the community should start hiring Artists before programmers.
- b3n87, on 01/29/2009, -0/+2This thing boots in 5 seconds!
- HonoredMule, on 01/30/2009, -0/+2I commented.
- stoanhart, on 01/29/2009, -0/+2They are only using XFCE for now while they develop the platform some more. The final UI will be Clutter based, which is a shiny OpenGL based widget set.
- scriptcoder, on 01/29/2009, -0/+2While your sitting on your ass posting on digg is doing wonders for the economy.
- ileftfark, on 01/29/2009, -2/+4It's Xfce. On a netbook. You either can have it pretty and slow, or bland and fast. There are some themes you can apply to make it less bland, but more eyecandy is counterproductive on a netbook's hardware.

- adkenc, on 01/29/2009, -0/+1For its purpose it looks like a good start, but i'm going with AMD in all my machines.
- lemur, on 01/29/2009, -0/+1I loled
- ACiDGRiM, on 01/31/2009, -0/+1I Like it! It looks like a web 2.0 site, which is perfect for a netbook.
- Roget, on 01/29/2009, -0/+1Does it come in Green?
- specialk2hz, on 01/29/2009, -0/+1I've recently had to switch from NM to WICD on my netbook. I just couldn't stand the gnome keyrings and everywhere I looked I couldn't find a way to disable it asking for a password to connect to a network.
So far WICD is working flawlessly. - mizatt, on 01/29/2009, -2/+2More like Mehblin 2
- Fortune7, on 01/29/2009, -0/+0Someone likes Zelda. Or it might be coincidence?
- connieLingus, on 01/29/2009, -1/+1yeah, building a RIA using CodeGear 2009 Rad studio for a client *is* pretty good, for my economy at least.
- artfuldodga, on 01/29/2009, -3/+2moblin! awesome name, not really...
it does look interesting and bland, all could be customized though - zero, on 01/29/2009, -5/+3That is one ugly desktop. The MSI runs the big 3 (OSX, W7, Ubuntu) just fine
- connieLingus, on 01/29/2009, -5/+3ahhh...the world is in total economic free-fall, but thxs to the Linux guys for giving us a new Netbook distro.
at least they have their priorities straight. - inactive, on 01/29/2009, -5/+1interesting but it looks ugly. Waiting for a more mature version since this is too raw. Till then sticking with Win7 and Ubuntu
- SuperJimmyJimbo, on 01/29/2009, -8/+3But will it run Crysis?
