Hotrod Your Asus Laptop With 64-bit Kubuntu
I'm an old-school horsepower junkie. Brute acceleration when I push down on a gas pedal, monster trucks and triple-engine blown alcohol tractor pulling all rank way up there in the cool department as far as I'm concerned. Oddly, I have the same addiction with laptop hardware.
My four year old AMD 64-bit HP Pavilion laptop threw a rod (the LCD died) a couple of weeks ago, so that gave me a perfect excuse to score a new machine. Naturally, it had to be rugged with a lot of built-in horsepower. The late model Asus X83-VM seemed to fit the bill.
Am I back in '68, standing in a Plymouth dealership, signing a check for a dual-quad 426 Hemi 4-speed Roadrunner?
Nope, but this Asus is the next best thing. Now on to the shop...I mean office, for a little 'tweaking' with Kubuntu.
