This week's techmail is One-time scheduling of tasks with At which discusses one-shot scheduling with the 'at' tool, rather than using something like cron. Alternatives to at include uschedule (which I personally like as it follows a djb service/run-script style concept).

When I wrote it, I had installed Mandriva onto an SDHC card, but I've since replaced Xandros with Mandriva on the SSD …

This week's Techmail is ASUS Eee PC is a good option for a lightweight laptop which is a basic summary of the little EeePC and why I like mine. =) This one basically covers the Xandros OS that comes with the Eee, but a future one (probably next week I'm suspecting …
