So for the last couple of days I have been preparing and installing Xubuntu 7.10 on my MicroClient Sr.
I had a similar idea to Nicolas314 over on the forum in that I planned to install by using a USB key, because the MicroClient doesn’t have an optical drive. The basic idea of this process is [...]

I finally got my MicroClient yesterday! Woohoo!
My first impressions are that it is so much smaller than I imagined it would be. I have taken some pictures (that I will upload later). So far, all I have done is turn it on and have a poke around in the BIOS. I will probably [...]

I suggest that [...]

After the response I got from Norhtec on Tuesday, I was thinking that it would probably be another 2 weeks or so before I got any further sign of my Microclient Sr.
However, there is a small glimmer of hope. I was checking my on-line banking (as you do) and happened to notice that the available [...]

As I said yesterday, I emailed Norhtec to check on the status of my order. I received a quick reply from them which I have included below.
Hi,
The form was sent in anticipation of the boards being in. The order staff

charged as yet [...]

This is just a quick update on the status of my order with Norhtec. They sent me (via email) a form for me to sign and return to them as a security measure for my credit card purchase. I sent this back to them promptly and I have heard nothing since then. I will email [...]

Idea!
So, it seems like there are a few prospective and one current (congratulations David Wilson! ) MicroClient owners out there. Would you guys like me to set up a forum somewhere to have discussions/updates etc? It seems to me this would be better than you guys just leaving comments on this blog.
Let me know [...]
