American Red Cross

My good friend Scott has chosen to fling himself into danger for the selfless cause of soldier morale and other stuff.  Afghanistan was probably not his first choice, but he'll get there in July or so.  Scott is out of money, and he has a wonderful wife and lots of friends in the U.S., so I thought he could use a computer.

I sent him the HP Mini 110-1020NR 10.1-Inch Netbook that I pre-loaded with Ubuntu Netbook Remix.  It has everything he will need: WiFi, webcam, solid-state drive, 3 hours battery, USB ports, and an SD card reader.  I sent him with Linux because it's as solid as UNIX.  If he got over there and started blue-screening, I couldn't provide much help.

I hope everything works for him and that he has a safe deployment.
