-My Windows XP professional workstation. 
  
-A dell Latitude, P4 1800, 512MB Ram, 30GB HDD, 1400x1040 display. 
- 
-I'm using [[http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp|Deltacopy]] to back it up frequently to my [[NSLU2]] 
- 
-Plan: 
-  - Maybe add an 'usb-id read and then run a program with some parameters'-tool. 
-    * Whoo, could WMI be my friend in this? 
- 
-====== Ubuntu Linux ====== 
-I've installed Ubuntu Linux on a spare harddrive in this box, works quite nice! 
-Firefox, Thunderbird. 
- 
-Using InnoTek VirtualBox for hardware virtualization and Microsoft Windows XP. 
- 
-[[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/39315|Annoying bug]] that caused the keyboard to respond 'weird' under load, fix for now is to killall gnome-power-manager. 
- 
-Installing Bluetooth, gnome-bluetooth? 
- 
-Installed Dutch tax support software, there is a native Linux version! 
- 
-Wifi just works(tm) 
- 
-WMV (and other nonstandard formats) playing through [[http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy|ubuntuguide]]. 
- 
-Installed ip forwarding to provide network for another machine using: [[http://www.howtoforge.com/nat_iptables|this howto]]. 
- 
-Had a [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/edgy/+source/xorg-server/+bug/61746|bug]] where Xorg crashed when closing the lid of my laptop. Solved by upgrading to 7.04. 
- 
-== Torrents == 
-  - Azureus is a memory hog but it works for my torrent needs... Need to find a replacement like uTorrent for Windows! 
-  - Ktorrent is doing it, it's Kde and not Gnome but even with that overhead it's small compared to Azureus. 
- 
-== Sync phone, contacts etc... == 
-  - Multisync shows promises! I like it already and it doesn't even work yet! 
- 
-====== Windows Wireless ====== 
-Using [[http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-010623.htm|Intel]] wireless drives, not the Dell ones.
