Don't Count Linux Netbooks Out
The announcement last week of a Linux-based smartbook from Lenovo was just one of several signs I'm seeing that Linux will maintain a foothold in emerging portable computing categories, including netbooks and smartbooks. Many people predicted that, with the arrival of Windows 7, which is squarely aimed at netbooks, Linux would fade on low-cost portable computing platforms. Here are several reasons why that is probably not going to happen.
Lenovo's Smartbook: The Company Can Still Back Linux
I'm surprised that more people in the Linux community aren't talking about Lenovo's smartbook, which it announced yesterday.

Diagnosing slow http connections
Greetings. I have a standard Apache 2 install that I compiled and installed on a new RHEL box. Things were working fine, but I noticed that the box has become very slow.
When I go to the command line from another box on the network and issue a 'wget http://192.168.1.100/index.html', it sits there for a while with a "HTTP request sent, awaiting response..." message. When I send the request to another box with the same configuration on the same network, the response is lightening fast.
Once I get the response, the file downloads in no time.
Any ideas where I can begin looking?
Is open-solaris getting traction?
I am wondering if Open Solaris is getting any traction out there or the project not getting much attention. If Open Solaris is getting attention, is it taking attention away from Linux?
Text browser on Red Hat
I am looking to using a text browser (don't ask!) to analyze some sites and for that, I am looking to use a browser that can strip out all the flashy markup, and show me the 'raw' site. I am trying to set up Lynx on my Fedora box to do the same, but currently only have CLI access. What's the easiest way to do this?
