EEE PC Repair Part 2

Look what I got in the mail. I should really order things for myself more often.

The box was easily large enough to ship a full sized LCD. I reused the bubble wrap to ship my burned out Dremel in for repair.
The replacement screen, it looks exactly the same. So far so good.
All fixed up. All the screws went back into the right places, even the stickers and rubber bumpers went back. And I’ve even upgraded the software to boot. It’s like a brand new machine.

Ubuntu 9.04 is here

Ubuntu: For Desktops, Servers, Netbooks and in the cloud
This is just a quick note to let you know that the newest version of Ubuntu came out yesterday. If you haven’t tried Linux before, or even if you have it is worth giving it a look. It’s really easy to use, you can try it out on your computer without changing anything and it’s free. Seriously man, check it out.
