The problem first reared its ugly head when a member of the Hardware Cult forums was playing U2 track “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me Kill Me.” While the problem isn’t related to this song along, several forum members seem to have reproduced the error with the sweet sounds of Bono’s voice.

Today's change was - and non-geeks can look away now - installing Eeebuntu on my Asus Eee 701 (thanks for the USB drive Mr R, beers on me at the BHT).

So far, excellent; even wireless networking worked out of the box (always often sometimes a sticking point with Linux) and whilst I am more of a KDE man than a Gnome [insert joke here] the OS does appear to be a good fit for the very particular challenges of my - sorry, Freyja's little netbook. Nice.
