Hi all,
I'm new here. Let me start off by saying that I have a huge amount of respect for everyone struggling with or using FreeBSD.
This is the netbook I have: http://www.engadget.com/products/acer/aspire/one/zg5/specs/.
My goal:
To learn FreeBSD. I tinkered around a bit with it, but very basic stuff. I want to learn shell commands. I don't want to just click on GUI icons like Windows. I want to use this PC for work e-mails. Learning FreeBSD (breaking it, fixing it, re-installing countless times etc.). Web surfing. This WILL NOT be used for Twitter, Facebook or any social media whatsoever. Basically it will just be a workstation to learn FreeBSD.
My question:
Is this netbook adequate? I'm concerned the screen will be a bit too small to "learn on". Basically what I want to know is: is this netbook okay? Will I get used to the smaller keyboard and screen? Should I be more concerned about LEARNING FreeBSD as opposed to something trivial like the screen size or netbook size?
I know this is a weird question, but I would appreciate any input.
Thank you for your time gentlemen.
