ASUS Eee PC 1000
1 recommendation
"How do I love my new eee PC? Let me count the ways: * runs ubuntu linux great (karmic koala): wifi (better range with karmic's 2.6.31 kernel), sleep, accelerated video, audio, power management, webcam, bluetooth * low price * weighs only 2.5 pounds * low power usage means over 4 hours of battery life, a DC converter (power plug) that's about 1/6 the size of the converter for my old 17..."
system76 Wild Dog Performance - Ubuntu Linux Desktop
1 recommendation
"This basic machine is offered with all the options I could ever need in a workstation, at a price much better than Dell. It even comes with Ubuntu Hardy pre-installed."
Second Edition Hardy Heron Mens T-shirt
1 recommendation
"I just learned that my chocolate hardy heron t-shirt is from a limited-edition line of just 500. So, after enjoying the appreciative stares of Southern California today (I already got two compliments from real girls!), I plan to place it in a hermetically-sealed, lead-lined, farraday cage pyramid to preserve it forever. But I just may purchase a few of these sand-colored second-edition shirts ..."
Everex TC2502 Green gPC w/ Via C7-D Processor
2 recommendations
"Computer prices have been dropping for years, but it's still nicely shocking that you can buy a new computer for around $200! The Everex green PC runs linux (gOS is a version of Ubuntu) and comes with 512MB RAM, an 80GB hard drive, and a CD/RW+DVD-ROM combo drive. While it's certainly not as powerful as machines you can get for $500 or more, this is still a great choice for people on a budget,..."
Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 Color Scanner
3 recommendations
"Thanks to Ask for recommending the Fujitsu ScanSnap S510 scanner (though I'm sure he bought the Mac version). This thing is amazing! I'm scanning in all my bills, statements, and other documents and then dropping them right into the shreader below the scanner. Use Amazon S3 with encryption for backup and my documents are safer for long term storage than in my house and they take up much less r..."
Dell Inspiron 1720/1721 - Notebook
1 recommendation
"Dell now offers a 17" laptop with Nvidia 8600GT graphics card. Their linux support track record is as good or better than any other vendor (which is to say: not very good). But if the fans are in the right place, I may trade in my Sager."
Sabrent IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter
1 recommendation
"This adapter is perfect if you want to access the information on old IDE hard drives you have sitting around. It's also decent for using a new, loose IDE hard drive as a way to transfer large amounts of data between two computers. Best of all, it was plug and play on Ubuntu Linux."
Earhugger Y Adapter For Stereo Headphones
1 recommendation
"Use this to share a single audio out on your computer between your computer speakers and your headphones. You end up playing audio through your headphones even when you're listening to the speakers, but at least you don't have to go behind the computer to unplug and replug wires every time you want to switch. Note: Because you're splitting it, you will get a bit less volume out of the spea..."
Ubuntu: Linux for human beings
8 recommendations
"The best Linux distribution I have ever used. - Easy to install - Easy to maintain - All modern server and desktop software I need in easy to install packages - Current yet stable (how do they do it?) - Seamless upgrades to newer releases - Brown is my favorite color Remember that "this is going to be love" feeling you had when Red Hat came out? and how quickly you lost it? Ubuntu has ..."
Postfix: The Definitive Guide by Kyle D Dent, Wietse Venema
1 recommendation
"For years I used sendmail and qmail and have friends who used exim, but we're all converts to Postfix (until the next great thing comes along). If you've got to buy a technical reference work, it's got to be O'Reilly."
Sabrent SATA to USB 2.0 Cable Converter
1 recommendation
"This cable lets me access my internal SATA disk drives by plugging them into a USB port (instead of shutting down the computer, opening it up, installing a drive, closing it up, and booting)."
Razer Pro v1.6 Mouse
2 recommendations
"Billed as a gaming mouse but makes my programming easier, too. This high performance mouse is extremely sensitive and accurate and I no longer get frustrated trying to get my Dell optical mouse to move the cursor to the right place on the screen. If I set the Razer mouse to the highest accelleration (under Linux), I can accurately get the cursor to any spot on my 3200x1200 screen (2 displays..."

"Now you can run windows on your beautifully designed mac along side MacOS X. What else could you ask for?"
Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000
4 recommendations
"As they say in the Linux community, Microsoft makes great computer hardware accessories. I've been using the Microsoft Natural keyboard series for years and the 4000 model is the best I've tried. The angles are even stronger which makes for more natural hand positioning; the wrist pad is soft; and the keys have great travel and are almost silent (nice when you're in a room with other developer..."
Dell Outlet
1 recommendation
"If you're looking for a computer, you like Dell quality, and you're willing to take a refurbished, returned, or scratch and dent, the "Dell Outlet" could be a good choice. Use the search form to specify your price, memory, disk, etc, and they'll show you specific computers in their inventory at that point in time. If you don't see what you want, try again a few hours later as great deals popup..."
Sandisk Ultra II SD Plus USB
7 recommendations
"It's the smallest 1GB USB memory stick that I've found. And, that's because it's the size and shape of an SD card. And, that's because it *is* an SD card! This means that you can use it in your Treo 650 and/or your Canon SD400 as a standard SD memory card and then (after hinging part of the card down) plug it into your computer's USB port to transfer pictures or data. Yes, it really works an..."
Dell Inspiron 910 with Ubuntu Linux installed
1 recommendation
"By the end of this week, Dell is expected to ship their new Inspiron subnotebook, a small (8.9" screen, 2.2 lbs) inexpensive competitor to the Asus eee PCs. These machines will have an option for flash based hard drives, and are shipped with either Ubuntu Linux (the cool kids' choice, which is pretty usable for non-technical people these days) or Windows XP. If I were going back to school this..."
Ubuntu on Playstation 3
1 recommendation
"What, ubuntu is no game? That may be true, but how else are you going to play gnome sudoku and other great games on the ps3? Not to mention web browsing, email, and pretending your big screen TV is a giant computer."
Penguin Computing Altus 1600
1 recommendation
"I've been happy with Penguin Computing's Altus 1400 (a predecessor to the Altus 1600). Penguin makes industrial-strength machines and stands behind them with a solid warranty."
Ubuntu Hoody
1 recommendation
"Take a regular Hanes hooded sweatshirt, add the logo of today's most usable Linux distribution, and you've got some serious geek street cred. Can those words go together?"
