a record of thoughts

I noted here that I constantly encounter WiFi problems. After searching the web, many have said that Linux is not WiFi friendly. I guess it could be true, but I’m not converting my Eee PC to Windows. I agree that hardware drivers are very tricky when it comes to Linux and I suspect it’s causing my troubles (the connection status is forever stuck in PENDING). Well, yesterday I slightly  cleaned up my drivespace and my troubles seem to have went away. However, it’s still too early to conclude. If it really is true, maybe the system is unable to connect because it has no space to store data. I’ll be monitoring this in the next two weeks.

Manipulation of IceWM for EeePC:

nano /home/user/.icewm/preferences

Changing file name or folder name in UNIX.

mv OrigFileName NewFileName
mv OrigFolderName NewFolderName
