Ha reading this now at work on a Dell e6500! That too is the best, but also an expensive laptop compared to the Inspiron series. Dell does make a good product usually.

Using an Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop from 2006! It's running Ubuntu 12.10 and runs circles around another newer Windows laptop I own. It has the best keyboard of any laptop I've ever used. It can view or record and playback HDTV (via TV tuner stick) and runs MythTV, XBMC, and Plex just fine. I crunch video on it with…

If you use the app LightFlow on your phone, this upgrade will cause it to crash on GMail. Hopefully they will fix that fast.

I love tiny houses. Two good blogs for checking out ideas on space options are http://relaxshacks.blogspot.com (run by Derek Diedricksen of Tiny Yellow House fame....if you hang out on Make Magazine's site, you probably know him) and http://tinyhouseblog.com

I have all these attachments except the ravioli maker so here are my notes on what works and what doesn't:

Couple of things since I use both OSes:
