I'm bringing the Acer Aspire One running it's stock Linpus Linux in a mercilessly hacked up state. I think I'll be able to get it on the Library's wifi.... using iwconfig....
Then I'll demo Acer's factory restore DVD, and you can all play with the thing freshly reloaded and working. At the next meeting, I'll have Ubuntu with their netbook thing on there, and Fedora 10 after that. If you have anything else you'd like to see on a netbook, chime in now.
I also at this point have Fedora 10 running on my laptop in its entirety. If anyone wants a sneak peak at what F10 will look like on its release, here's your chance to see it.
If anyone had any distros they want to install, now's the time to ask if you want me to bring a disc ready to install from.
Also, I thought I'd share a package I discovered a couple days ago called clive. clive takes as an argument, a youtube hyperlink, and swiftly downloads an flv or mp4 to your home directory. Supposedly it supports other sites as well. yum install clive. http://clive.sourceforge.net/ Then you can play it in vlc and probably other players, without ever installing flash. There's another script floating around out there that lets you play a youtube vid directly in mplayer or vlc, but you can't always stop and reverse and stuff since its streaming.
There's another program I really wanted called pytube, a python gtk+ app that turns a youtube vid into an ogg file, but its author's site seems to be completely gone now.
