There is a sort of beauty to using MS Win to create Linux boot media. The reason for this is that I have some handy tools for making bootable USB fobs over there on MS WIn that I got from the following tutorial on PenDriveLinux: ![]() Kind of ironic, since the M300 sort of fit the same slot of computing hardware the AAO does.Ī friend of mine told me that Mint 6 RC 1 was out, so I went and downloaded it to the MS Windows side of the AAO. I can have a power station on my desk, and another by the bed, and don't have to unpack the cord. ![]() Since that time I have found that the power supplies for my Compaq M300's work on the AAO: Not great: the Compaq PS plug is slightly smaller in exterior diameter, but it fits well enough I can leave the real AAO power cord in the "car 11" DVDplayer" bag I bought to act as the AAO's case. When we last left the AAO I had just added more memory and was experimenting with Puppy Linux. This one is about Mint on the Acer Aspire One (AAO) though. I'll have a post up soon over at TalkBMC about using Mint 6 as the main office distro. Mint 6 is built off the solid basis of Ubuntu 8.10, and inherits most of its goodness, and layers on the extras that make Mint my favorite Distro right now. Codenamed "Felicia",Mint 6 is due to arrive this month, and RC1 is already available over at. ![]()
