Wer heute abend kommt und noch Zeit zur Vorbereitung hat, der könnte vorsichtshalber Netzwerk- und Router-Technik mitbringen.

Wer einen Schleppi mit Perl mitbringt, könnte bitte auch die Module Module::Phalanx100 Devel::Coverage mit allen Abhängigkeiten installieren, da ich selber wieder keine Technik mitbringe. 3.

Message-ID: <00b601c53bbb$8a7d0760$6464a8c0@pc1> Hallo zusammen, also nun melde ich mich auch noch mal zu dem, was ich da mit meiner Frage "angerichtet" habe. Ich bin mit dem Notebook total zufrieden, also mit dem Acer TravelMate 4002WLMi. Eins muß ich aber sagen, daß ich bisher noch kein Linux drauf habe :-(. Die Platte ist in 2 Partitionen aufgeteilt, einmal 20 GByte und einmal 26,5 GByte. Die 2. ist leer. Das spricht also schon mal für eine Linux-Installation in der nächsten Zeit. Es ist aber immer blöd, wenn man so ein vorkonfiguriertes Teil bekommt. Na ja, ich habe jetzt auch etwas Streß, weil ich mir eine neue Arbeit suchen muß. Ansonsten kann ich nur sagen, daß ich mit dem Touchpad ganz gut zurechtkomme. Ich weiß jetzt auch, wie man auf das Ding draufhauen muß, daß man auch markieren kann. Na ja, es ist schon etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. So einen Stummel habe ich auch mal bedienst, das war aber irgendwie blöd. Viele Grüße sendet Euch Steffen.

Geht auch. Kommt drauf an. Ich muß häufig technische Zeichnungen ändern. Sollte es da eine wirklich effektive Konsolenalternative geben, wäre ich dankbar. Bis dahin nutze ich QCAD und die Segnungen einer grafischen Oberfläche, die mir die Abstraktion, mein Projektaus Koordinatendaten zusammen zu stellen, erspart.
