Dear lazyweb, I bought a Dell Mini 10 and am curious on how and if you use it for some sort of Debian development.
I would like to use it in an almost stateless setup (think installed, but usb stick would do) to browse things and have a few git/svn repositories to build small packages.
It seems there are some issues with the Xorg driver for this -- sbo. Thoughts?

Dell Mini 10, now what?

Hmm, if you got the 10 rather than the 10v you have to use the closed-source powervr driver or svga.
I use my EeePC 701 for compiling various programs, some of which end up being uploaded to Debian.
It's considerably more powerful than the first machine I used for Debian development and some of the programs I maintain haven't got any bigger...
FWIW, your blog RSS (and thus Plänet Debian) has code like the following in it (replaced angle-brackets):

This is… bad, from a privacy standpoint especially. Got this warning due to Konqueror’s broken SSL implementation, actually…
TheGZeus: It is the 10, yes. Thanks.
Russell: I see, so which packages are you talking about? My needs are mostly related to Python modules.
mirabilos: That is with Blogger team at Google. Fortunately, I am actually a Google employee and will report the problem. They might be aware of this issue already. Thanks!
I would give this crap back. The powervr driver is PITA, there is basically no support for it, not from Intel nor from the graphics core makers. There were few updates in the Ubuntu Notebook Remix branch (some people there seem to have access to the specs), but IIRC they don't support 2.6.3x kernels anymore.
And I never managed to get 3D acceleration working, only XV with just one version and 2.6.29 kernel (it was good enough for DVD playback).
So, basically, it sucks.
