hey thanks for this tip too! My nokia 770 is a pain to get stuff to and from also, but can easily take a SSH server, so this should do the job along with this tip:

I have heard subversion can corrupt repositories sometimes, but I don’t know about it enough to say if that is all as bad as it sounds.

I got the Pragmatic Progs Textmate book : it left me with an invincible giddy high of key shortcut empowerment for about a week, until I started closing several files while trying to wrap text. :)

Heh. They'll be excommunicating me from the Church of Mac soon, though - not only do I have the Eee, but my iBook is running Xubuntu...

I should really start writing about geeky stuff in print, I think...

They announced a batch of models with bigger screens at CES, due later this year - 9" was the biggest, I think. And they'll come with XP pre-loaded, not Xandros (not that you'll mind that, Windows boy!).

Nice post Jack! You are going to win the award for the most technically-minded art journalist in the world. You're making me want to get an Eee! When do you reckon the next model will come out, hopefully with a bigger screen?

Ah, thanks Sean - didn't know that.

The customized Xandros on the Eee is configured so that your real (i.e. unix) username is always 'user'. Anything else is a mirage!
