First post

I finally set this blog up. Here I'll post tricks to get your computer to work, or to get it to work better. Many of tricks may be found elsewhere on the web, so the main purpose is for my own reference.

Here are what I have, and also the subjects that I will blog on:

Thinkpad T61 w/ xubuntu
Eee 901 w/ xubuntu (soon to have)
Shuttle XPC w/ xubuntu
Dell Inspiron 530 w/ Fedora (at work, maintained by someone else)

I do numerical simulations for work and program in C++ and python, occasionally in Fortran and Perl.
