When you say you mined 3 coins, I guess you're using a mining pool?

[jupiterbroadcasting]

@sharperguy Correct, deepbit.net ATM! It seemed to be the way to go for someone like my self who only has a few computers mining.

@lucatechxx i dont have time to play around with arch - i tried few lighweight distros and they all suck - battery life is much shorter when surfing the web or playing HD movies. Im sorry thats a FACT.

And WHAT is good netbook? I tried it on low end Samsung Netbook - single core, 1gb of ram - also on my new netbook Asus 1215N.

Result in both cases is the same - Windows 7 is more responsive and battery life is better.

@lucatechxx openSUSE is doing great on my NetBook. KDE dosen't work to well on it even though. i really Like the KDE netbook interface but its just to heavy on the weak hardware. but Gnome works great and the Gnome shell Works nice on such a small screen. the only issue i have with openSUSE on the Netbook is My battery Life is about 20 Mins Less. But i i think that's because Windows goes into power saving mode as soon as your switch to the battery wile SUSE dosen't have such a feature.

@TheEpisteme TekHD, lockergnome, John4lakers, and all the of them are apple fanboy( with they denied ) that only care about the newest iPhone, or macbook. They're all idiots. good thing we have a show like this that shows the real side of tech and real mentally of the Geeks, that actually know something about what they are talk about. Long live Linux Action Show.

@FeelItRising I felt that Mint is Ubuntu, but a shit ton better and nicer.

[lucatechxx]

@MrGizmo757 Windows is very barf like. How is OpenSUSE holding up on the netbook?

[lucatechxx]

@Naturality but is it still a knock-off, that the joke, right?

[lucatechxx]

@kamaboko1 hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[lucatechxx]

@FeelItRising nice
