The rise of small laptops called netbooks is
fueled by the downturn in the economy. Since most
people use these machines for simple everyday stuff
like email, browsing and instant messaging, demand is
rising.

The operating system most tailor-fit for the
netbook is Linux because it is designed for low-power
chips and for applications that demand little in
hardware and power. Linux is also open source and
free. Most of the applications and software bundled
with it is also free and open source. These give
netbook vendors the opportunity to offer these machines
at a much lower price.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray.  What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list.                Before...  After.
