Lolireef v.9002

I recently put my netbook back on Arch, it's gotten quite a lot of changes recently:

the HDD died, so I put a 32GB OCZ SSD in, which is actually sufficient:


I have the replacement HDD from WDC in an external, I have tmp loaded into RAMFS to reduce unnessicary writes to the SSD.

I'm using GNOME 3 with all the extras (lol lazy mode) and a quite usable set of programs. (you can see the most used ones on the top) and I'm really quite impressed with Gnome 3.

It reminds me a lot of Mac OS, and I think that's why I like it a lot. Nevertheless I did a lot of Shell Extension based tweaking and ended up with this configuration, including a unified menu bar configuration.

I'm also using the Atom CK patchset but I'm not sure if it's making the battery life worse or not.

ramfs, huh?
I'll check the archwiki, this definitely sounds useful. I could use it as temp space for uncompressed files and /tmp stuff.

EDIT: ramfs doesn't have any actual limits set, though... Which means I could run out of memory. tmpfs on the other hand supports it, but reduces performance gain. Ugh...

You can make your own ramfs' and mount them in the fstab with hard limits just like tmpfs.

Is that so? From what I've read, ramfs will still use available ram even if the limit is exceeded.

And here's the machine that I've pretty much had since late october but haven't gotten around to taking any post your desktop's of :P


ATI Radeon HD 6770 1GB
AMD Phenom II B60 X4 @ 3.3Ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 x64

Pretty damn good for $500.

And before anyone complains about monitor resolution, I basically bought the better quality 19" samsung monitor instead of the crappy quality 22" unknown brand monitor.

19 inch is fine too.

Nice tidas~
