well I have been using a Freecom one but I think pretty much anything should work fine. Just plug and play.

Sorry – that’s on my to-do list – I’ll go and whack it onto the homepage now!
In the meantime, same as with the WordPress standard, it’s /wp-register.php so http://webbookblog.com/wp-register.php will take you there!

Seems since doing the vrms clean up and a few other ones, when ever I turn on my webbook I get the option to chose which type of Linux I want, also seem to have lost a few of the smooth graphics options. Hmmm

Guess I should be more careful with what I remove.

Apropos nothing in particular, except I thought people might be amused, The Economist (no less) advocates purchasing Linux netbooks rather than wasting money on Windows ones, in this little article (from /.)

They seem to have an inferior brand in mind, but one can’t have everything

Silly question, but how do I register on the site?

excellent! glad you got it working with help from your brother. I get emails when comments are left, if you register on the site you can see a list of comments in date order. I would like some better way of bringing comments on older articles to more general view.
