how much better? I have heard kernel tuning can make a substantial difference... Maybe this is worth considering for the netbook - but I hear Debian is very conservative and slow to update with new applications? And would the eeePC branch work on an MSI Wind? Their basically identical as

Re: [talk-au] More on highway shields

I've been thinking about the network=* tag when it comes to alphanumeric numbering, I'm starting to think this shouldn't be added in the alphanumeric numbering case, but should be used where a non-alphanumeric system is used, eg NR, NH, MR, DR. Does this sound sane to anyone else?

2009/8/29 Peter Ross pe...@emailross.com: After it's uploaded use JOSM, potlatch or merkatoor to consume the gpx file and turn it into OSM artifcats. The problem with doing this is you loose timing information, which I find useful for some things to show speed in different colours.
