[PLUG] Linux resources for Dell mini9

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

Edited cross-post...  Some might recognize Mario as one of the folks 
behind Mythbuntu.  His day job is working on Linux on Dell hardware.

The 'linux-desktops' is very handy when running any kind of Linux and 
any kind of Dell.

Hi all

I thought everyone here should be aware of these resources for Mini 9
users (and anyone supporting them) :

[1] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DellMini9
[2] http://www.dell.com/mini

I haven't personally gone through all of [1] but will do so and
update/contribute to it over the next few days. Anyone interested enough
should subscribe to it.

Hi Ross:

You will find that the deltas in the packages found on that repository 
[1] will operate better on the Mini9 than the ones in the main archive. 
  Additionally EVERY update that would go through the main repositories 
will be tested on a Mini9 before it hits these.

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
