It has less than I remember. Maybe that's because they pre-install Linux now?

I got an eeePC, the 900 model, with Xandros pre-installed, and a 20GB solid-state hard drive...it's the mutts nuts. It's the most practical, useful computer I have ever owned. I've added some debian repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list, but other than that, it's pretty much stock.
The on-board audio hardware is complete crap, but that was to be expected, and it doesn't really affect anything I use the eee for...

If anyone reading this thread needs a solid as fuck, cheap, functional computer, that can be hacked/modded/extended to do all manner of things, I highly recommend it. It is brilliant.

I have a g4 tibook and I'm seriously considering erasing my entire OS X (10.3.9) partition and installing Ubuntu but I'm not sure if I'll still be able to access my OS 9.2.2 partition if I do this.

I still use OS9 for Digital Performer 3.11.

I don't really use my OSX partition that much and it's so out of date that updating to 10.4 (or even 10.5) with a measly 500mhz processor seems like wasted time/money/energy. I have a PC that I do most dev work on. I do like Textmate though.

OS 9 doesn't rely on OS 10 to boot does it? I don't think so but I thought I'd posit the question here first before I do something stupid.

Also, does Ruby on Rails come preinstalled with a Ubuntu install? (Including Gems?)

Last question (and I think I asked this once but can't remember the answer): Is there an equivalent to Textmate in Linux? What are people using for Ruby development?

Grazi.
