I mentioned Everex's imminent Cloudbook a little while back, and now it's here:

The CloudBook, model CE1200V, showcases the Linux based gOS operating system and familiar applications from Mozilla, Skype, Google, Facebook, Faqly and OpenOffice.org. Available January 25th, the computer will be available at Walmart.com for $399.
Slightly different but also small and running GNU/Linux, is the LimePC:

A new version of Lightning, correcting lots of bugs, just appeared ; this is a followup to other articles of this blog. The 0.7 version replaces the 0.5 version. I recompiled quickly the extension based on a brand new Icedove 2.0.0.6 package. A bit of time was necessary to find the sources because they were moved in the website.

I just began working seriously on installing desktop machines in 64 bits at work, and this gave me some insight into the 64 bits transition problems: biggest being commercial applications that work only in 32 bits.

I already told about Lightning in this blog. Since version 0.5 is out to replace version 0.3.1, I recompiled quickly the extension on a clean install of Icedove 2.0.0.4.dfsg1 (but it will work with icedove 2.0.0.3, since I kept a copy around and there is no obvious bug). I recompile because people told me that the pristine binary Lightning 0.5 does not work.

Icedove (connu aussi sous le nom de Thunderbird), le lecteur de courrier de Mozilla, est disponible en version 2.0 sous Debian/sid.
