Until a recent trip, I hadn’t used the XO very hard, or configured it at all. Before heading out, I read Bill’s article and found some real gems that, along with my own preferences, make using the XO a much more pleasurable experience. They follow:
- Disable the terrible hot-corner feature
- Disable Alt-Tab to the Journal activity
- Install the latest OS
- Install a big SDHC card for content
- Install subversion, Firefox, Opera,
- Install Quake term, this makes using the shell a joy
- Install xo-get
