mp-fremantle-generic-pr will not allow me to uninstall most of them.
Especially all these locales.
I will have to make a deb for that.

I enjoy: Fennec, ModRana, QStarDict, QtOctave, Orrery, Stellarium, MBarcode, VU Meter, QRadio, Panorama. And voximp. And CellWriter.
I would like Aptitude to work. It gives Segmentation Fault.
I also have vim and leafpad, Ship Rolling, mobile mind, Filebox, Copernicium and Easy Chem, Cell Tower Info.

The apps I wish I had? Just off the top of my head, mint.com, bank of america, tmobile's visual voicemail, kindle, a good chinese input app, a good gmail app, feedsquares and many many more.

Nobody has one computer any more -- we have a bunch of them. We have mobile phones, book readers, laptops, desktops, and other things, such as gps devices.

Once upon a time, people asked themselves what kind of computer to get, PC, Mac or Linux. Or maybe dual-boot. That is no longer the right question.

What we now think about is, what combination of computing devices do we need? We think about the variety of situations in which we use computers and, lately, the number of size choices is increasing rapidly.

What may have been obvious to some of you suddenly occured to me. Is the big box desktop computer dying out? I hope so, because I am tired of messing with them.

So, maybe some of you can help me with this question. What is the best combination of devices that will allow me to toss my desktop entirely? Have any of you done so yet?

Big screens aren't about to go, and a full-sized keyboard is a must.

Another thing: when I'm at home now, I rarely work with one device at a time. At a minimum, I tend to have my N900 and my Kindle within reach. I'd like a larger, tablet computer as well. At first I was thinking of a 7-inch tablet, but at the moment I am dreaming of a ten-inch or even larger tablet, with a slide-out or detachable keyboard. Of course, a detached bluetooth keyboard is another obvious choice.

In order to keep this from being too much of a duplicate of other threads, please try to keep in mind the goal of putting your desktop computer out on the curb to be hauled away. Can we do that now? What else do we need?
