Well after having some minor performance issues with Ubuntu on my eeePC I decided to try a version of PCLinuxOS. On my desktop I have PCLOS running. I think it is the most user friendly Linux operating system out there. Meaning it is the most like Microsoft Windows XP. The configuration interface is very friendly. I had no problem configuring my monitor or network printer on my desktop. Like pretty much everything else in the Linux world the eeePC version of PCLOS is free. There is a small group of …

So here is a side project that I recently did. These projects help pay for all the gadgets I talk about on my blog. PowerLink Unlimited Pre-paid Mobile Service
Way back when I also built the Airlink Mobile web site. Ryan Carr of RTCarr Designs does the creative.

There are a number of programs which will do this. All around $30 in cost. I would encourage …
