+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?
+[[http://www.williambrownstreet.net/wordpress/?p=27|Bluetooth howto]]
+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.
