I live in the UK and am interested in all things computers, gadgets and technology. I started using Ubuntu Linux as my main operating system during 2006 and have never looked back. Living in a small-ish apartment I am constantly aware of space requirements for anything new I acquire and so I have been looking for a small desktop computer for a while now. I read a few reviews of the Norhtec MicroClient Jr. during 2007 and my interest was re-ignited recently when I heard of the new MicroClient JrSX release. I had some spare cash to spend and, after reviewing my options (and being tempted by the lovely Asus EEE PC), I decided to take the plunge and order a MicroClient Sr. from Norhtec.
Wish me luck… 
Hi!
Thanx for the info on the Micro Sr.
I have a friend which I am now remote to, who has basic needs for his computer. I thought this might be a great way to go!
I got him used to Ubuntu but that is to say he still thinks gmail is an application!
He is an older guy who uses gmail, surfs the web only a little, and plays instant chess online, (needing a flash player.)
Can I get one of these and just install 8.10 and customize it a little so that only those things the old guy uses are obvious? Would that work well?
Thanx!
