We had decided long-ago in the design process of this machine, that we would run linux on board, partly as it would use less memory, and partly because we could control exactly what was loaded onto the PC itself. (Windows only gives you so much freedom as to what you don’t want installed) Read more

There’s something so cool about receiving new gadgets, while at work, and it’s oh-so-much cooler knowing the company’s paying for them! :o)

I don’t mean, just work very fast - anyone can make their PC go fast - I mean FLY! Literally! Off the ground and off into the great blue yonder! (or “great grey yonder” if recent weather is any indication!)
