[QCLUG] Dell Mini 9

You are welcome Dave, I ordered one for a friend. I think netbooks will get
a lot of people using Linux that would not otherwise have done so.
Dell usually ships way sooner than the date they give you. Mine came weeks
early :-)

I added a 16Gig SD card for storage, and at the price of RAM, how could you
not kick it up to 2 Gigs, just because you can. I'm having way too much fun
with my new toy.

Next week Ubuntu is putting out a version optimized for netbooks.
