I’m looking for a netbook but can’t discern a huge difference between the various models. Here are some of the specs I want;
- 10.2″ Screen
- 160GB HDD
- 2GB RAM (Capable at least, I can upgrade it if needed)
What I want to use it for;
- Streaming Video – 720p preferably
- Web Browsing
- Occasional E-Mail
Any recommendations?

The graph of time spent downloading a page from Google Webmaster Tools pretty much speaks for itself. May & June = Dreamhost, July = Server In My Garage Hosted On A Cable Modem.

The only feature that it is lacking, and I desperately need, is QoS. I run a lot of torrents (I’m a Linux ISO fanatic, collecting every ISO of every distro I can find) and I also run a VoIP PBX (3CX) with a SIP trunk to VoicePulse Connect. Unfortunately VoIP & BitTorrent don’t play well together without QoS of some kind.
Solution? I used to be a big fan of pfSense so I’m going to give it another shot. I’ve got a spare Dell PowerEdge 1550 (2xPIII 1.0GHz, 2048MB, 1x18GB U160 SCSI, 2×10/100 LAN) and just downloaded the pfSense 1.2 ISO. I shall go forth and install now!
