The Ecological and Health Consequences of the Oil Spill
Via: Travel Insurance

I just installed PeppermintOS’s ICE linux distro on my EEE 900. The user partition is automatically on the 16gb SSD and the OS fits very neatly into the 4gb SSD with plenty of space.  It boots pretty quick, but the suspend feature is the fastest Ive ever seen.  I can resume from suspend just about as fast as a screensaver would take to turn off.  Im a bit paranoid about the fan speed management, though, so I installed EEE applet and set the fan to fastest possible.

The Chrome browser emphasis is snappy and smart.  The installed apps are perfect balance of utility with extreme lightweight snappiness.  I installed Banshee but everything else is ready to rock.

I installed it off a 1 gig SD card in about 10 minutes. Since I’m so happy with this, I setup a mirror site. This site is hosted off of Amazon Cloudfront, and I got about 1550kB/sec over my home wireless network.

Give Peppermint ICE a try!

Just a test of the Google custom search.. enter your town to find a state park and see how it works. Ill work to enrich the parks info available here.
