Intel Core2 Duo Processor T6500 = OOB
800MHz system bus, 2MB L2 cache and 2.1GHz processor speed per core.
4GB DDR2 memory = OOB
Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW (DVD+R DL) supports LightScribe direct-disc labels = ?(Does *NIX support LightScribe?)
500GB SATA hard drive (5400 rpm) = OOB
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD up to 1759MB total available graphics memory = ?(Not sure if I'm getting everything out of this puppy, is there a test that I could run?)
Altec Lansing speakers with SRS Premium Sound = FAIL NO SOUND(And yes I did make sure my username is in Group Audio)
Touch media controls and HP Mobile remote = TMC above the keyboard is working, HP remote haven't tried yet.
13.3" high-definition(1366 x 768) widescreen display = OOB(X came up without a hitch or hiccup, looks great, I just want to be sure that I have the maximum res)
Built-in webcam = ?(How do I check/test this?)
5-in-1 media reader = ?(Didn't try it yet)
Supports Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO and xD Picture Card formats.
2 high-speed USB 2.0 ports = OOB
Built-in wireless LAN (802.11b/g) = Working since I installed Jaunty backports.
Built-in 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN = OOB
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition operating system with Service Pack 1= Banished, sent into exile.
That's what I got so far.
Here is what I want to do.
I am going to to be traveling a lot.
This has to be my everything machine.
Business and pleasure.
Here in no particular order is my check list:
Secure as possible(I know this will never be 100%)
Anti-Virus(which one?)
Anti-Spyware(?)
Is there a way to trick the Black Hats who happen to be WiFi sniffing, phishing, war-driving or whatever into thinking that this device is nothing more then a Nintendo DSi? Hmmm.
DVD player(?)
MP3 player(Can I get/use Itunes?)
Web call/conference with/without video
Bank online
Credit Card transactions
Docs, spreadsheet and presentation(OO.o)
I noticed the Xen hyper visor.
Is it possible to...
1. Install a stripped down *NIX dom0 just to install/run Xen.
2. Set up a honey pot leading to a domU(Windows) full of dummy files
3. Second domU(Kubuntu) private all ports closed
4. third domU (Kubuntu) for everyday, like happy go lucky )till something goes horrifically wrong)Windows users.
So tell me what you think.
Is my Xen idea doable or am I reading too much Tom Clancy.
Any advice/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
