No Blogging for a while

For almost two months I have not posted any thing.
I was thinking on some projects.

But sure enough some things of interest managed to do.
I had a old laptop. Old means almost 6 years old. It
is a pentium with 256MB of RAM and 40 GB of HDD. But yes
there is wifi. I had purchased this laptop when I was in
Malaysia. Brand is no brand. It looks like a Taiwanese Brand.

So did not know what to do with it? Tried OpenSolaris with
a bit of tweaking but it refused to go beyond the live cd.
Reason, not enough resources. Tried Ubuntu 10.04, but some
how it failed to get in all the drivers.

Finally managed to make it work with ubuntu 09.04. It has
gone with 0 issues. Works fine.

What do I use it for?

Currently I have downloaded the GNU compilers for C. So good
for doing some old stuff.
