MEEGO impresses!
Terry Porter
Previously it had the XCFE Fedora spin, but it was a bit slow to
connect/disconnect/scan with the Broadcom wifi card, and the slowness is
evident only using the Linux closed source driver (I read).
So I purchased a Intel N 1000 1/2 height mini pci card but it wouldn't work,
so I then tried the latest Ubuntu 10.10 .... BIG MISTAKE.
One negative feature with the HP 5102 is that it has no WiFI ON/OFF switch,
but uses a HP application under Windows 7, that sets some hardware bit on
the netbook, and which naturally, isn't available with Linux.
After running up Ubuntu 10.10 I discovered to my dismay, that no wifi
adaptor would work. The Broadcom card, the Intel N1000 and a RT73 USB dongle
were all greyed out.
Even worse, nothing worked when I ran the previously working Fedora install.
This has something to do with the application RFKILL, I believe, but RFKILL
is unable to re-enable the now permanently disabled WiFi devices.
I guess Ubuntu 10.10 managed to set the hardware bit that disabled the WiFi
system, but was unable to unset it.
Otherwise, 10.10 was quite nice, and everything else worked.
So in desperation I tried MEEGO, to see if it would re enable my now
disabled WiFi, and it did!
Although the install was a total no brainer and all automatically completed
in about 15 minutes, I did have to use a external USB DVD drive as the HP
5102 BIOS doesn't like MEEGO on a USB stick for some reason.
MEEGO is now running on the 5102, on a 60GB SSD, and I've had time to play
with it. It seems well thought out, and is very easy to use unlike UNR,
which I've always disliked (just a personal thing).
Wifi with the Intel N 1000 card is almost instant, audio is great, video is
smooth, suspend and resume works flawlessly. The touch pad 'tap' to select
works, as does scrolling and mousing.
I'm sure I'll discover some problems in time, but I think MEEGO is a winner,
and is bound to start showing up on $90 eBAY touch pads any day, if it
hasn't already.
MEEGO is based on Fedora, and uses YUM etc, so under the hood, it seems to
be standard Linux based, which appeals to me.
This is the live distro I installed, which uses Chromium as the browser.

*using Broadcom's (crappy) closed source driver for Linux*.
There is, however, good news (from early September).

Now, what will be interesting is how long it takes
for the Linux Driver Project to implement the Open driver
and how long it takes the various distros to propagate that.

other than the total clusterfsck where nothing worked including new hardware
you bought not working - "otherwise it was quite nice"
that is like saying "other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the
play?"
or it is like going on vacation to a shit-hole like Mexico, getting robbed,
raped and beaten by drug lords while being forced to eat dirt. "Otherwise,
my vacation was quite nice."

The Samsung "N" series of netbooks do that too, but fortunately also
have a BIOS setting to turn Wi-Fi on and off, so it's not as bad.
Another odd thing I noticed about them is if you dual boot (as I did
when first setting it up) the machine does a double-reset each time you
switch operating systems, whereas if you keep rebooting into the same OS
then it just boots straight in. It seems as though the hardware is
"adjusting" itself for different operating systems somehow. I'm not sure
if that's a good or bad thing: certainly I haven't noticed any bad
consequences, but it's completely undocumented and thus rather
suspicious. What, if anything, is actually being "changed"?
As for Win/soft-hardware, i.e. hardware that needs to be "activated" by
Windows, personally I think it should be banned for unfairly tying to a
third-party. All hardware should be completely OS agnostic. Period.

just because you and your stupid butt-buddy Shearman are too fscking stupid
to install Windows7 doesn't mean that everyone is as utterly incompetent as
you.
even the fscking morons at tux-machines were able to install it by simply
clicking "Next" a few times.
figues that a couple of cock-sucking butt buddies like you and Shearman
would be too stupid to do a simple task like this.
after all - you are a "linux advocate" which makes one of the stupid cretins

Installing Windows was surprisingly easy. In just a few short steps, Windows

reasonably simple to install, but Microsoft has done an excellent job with

That's because you can see the "code" words the troll uses and
understand what the troll reveals about its own sexuality. Prof. Henry E
Adams of the University of Georgia mentions in the Journal of Abnormal
Psychology that homophobic men get sexually excited by gay porn.... sad,
repressed and self hating individuals...

That would be great, sadly the 5102 bios doesnt have such a switch. Shame on
you HP!

Beats me, I don't dual boot, tho I have XP Pro that runs under Linux
(Virtualbox) to access a couple of windows-only apps.
It's ironic that I have to run XP under Linux, to update my ToMTom GPS,
which itself, runs embedded Linux.

DanC??? Who's DanC??? I've never seen any posts by that name in here.

Well, he's obviously disturbed, and this explains why. It's not his
gayness, it's his self-loathing that has resulted from some inner
conflict, possibly do to some misguided religious teachings or other
moralizing.

Why? Kicking "Hadron" is like kicking a puppy.

This is the first numerical problem I ever did. It demonstrates the
power of computers:
Enter lots of data on calorie & nutritive content of foods. Instruct
the thing to maximize a function describing nutritive content, with a
minimum level of each component, for fixed caloric content. The
results are that one should eat each day:
1/2 chicken
1 egg
1 glass of skim milk
27 heads of lettuce.
