Installing Windows Vista/7 the lazy way!

Tiling Window Managers: A Comparison

I started the journey long ago with >Ion3. My main problem with it was the terrible default configuration.

So far build quality seems good, and it’s battery life is working as advertised(although I haven’t had it for long enough to do a completely battery drain test. It comes with a stylus and 3 magnets for attaching to a refrigerator. The magnets are TOUGH to pull apart. I’d recommend using a butter knife or box cutter to wedge between them. According to my Kill-A-Watt, the entire laptop uses 14 watts with the backlight on and battery charging.

Booting up the install USB disk, I notice that the background is slightly changed. It’s still Leopard-esque, but slightly different.
