    Win! (er, I mean. Hai!)

    I am currently in a Library on my Samsung N110 Netbook, booted into Haiku via Pendrive Installation, typing away at this message as I am connected wirelessly via my Netbook's builtin Atheros Wifi Device.

    I have a strong urge to buy a new Netbook now *just* for solely running Haiku on it.

    Yeah, I know, I know. Pics or it didn't happen, right?




    All I'm saying is that it was quirky to start off with - probably still booting / preloading / caching in the background - but give it 5 minutes, and it is on a roll.

    Pretty cool experience you had there.

    The wireless is courtesy of BSD I believe.

    I do believe that is the case, but funny you should mention that, as I have never gotten my wireless to work in FreeBSD on this machine before...

    Then again, one must ask the question, which BSD?

    I think it was FreeBSD 8.

    I installed VLC, it handles DVDs much better than MediaCenter does at this stage. Though I lost my video sound, I'll sort that out sooner or later...

    MediaCenter is based on the latest VLC. The VLC they offer in the repositories is an incredibly old BeOS version.
