My new Dell Inspiron Mini 9 just arrived. It comes with default Ubuntu 8.04 Linux installed. Its primary function at this point will be a little wireless web browsing machine for the home.

Tiny Dell Mini!

Am totally loving its size. Still not sure if it will be mine or my wife’s in the end. Maybe we buy another one so we each have one!

The only problem I have had so far was getting it to recognize my 128 bit WEP wireless password.

Called (ultimate destination) Dell Wireless Ubuntu support 1-866-622-1947

gave me the fix: On the wireless networking, use the 64/128 bit hex option and put the 26 digit key in there. Worked like a charm!
