Q. I am planning to by a Linux Laptop, In my search I ao this company site Ohava but I could not get any review about their devices. Cane anybody help me?
A. From what I can tell they are a newer company, without a lot of a track record, but on the plus side the designs are straightforward (I would describe them as a mid 90's ironic throwback) and allow easy access to the internals for upgrades and modifications. Also looks like decent price points for the hardware involved.
How do you share the internet through a Linux laptop?
Q. Im trying to share the internet through a wireless connection on my linux laptop, through to my xbox 360 (via ethernet cable)
A. Bridging, for example, links the two network adapters so that Ethernet frames flow freely between them, just as if they were connected on a simple hub. All of the traffic heard on one interface is passed through to the other.
You can set up a bridge so that the computer itself does not participate in the network at all, essentially transforming the computer into an overpriced Ethernet repeater. But more likely you will want to access the Internet as well as bridge traffic between the ports. That isn't complicated, either.
Bridging requires the bridge-utils package, a standard component of every modern Linux distribution that provides the command-line utility brctl.
To create a bridge between your network adapters, begin by taking both adapters offline with the ifdown command. In our example eth0/eth1 setup, run sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifdown eth1 from the command line.
Next, create the bridge with sudo brctl addbr bridge0. The addbr command creates a new "virtual" network adapter named bridge0. You then connect your real network adapters to the bridge with addif: sudo brctl addif bridge0 eth0 adds the first adapter, and sudo brctl addif bridge0 eth1 adds the second.
Once configured, you activate the bridge0 virtual adapter just as you would a normal, physical Ethernet card. You can assign it a static IP address with a command like sudo ifconfig bridge0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0, or tell it to retrieve its configuration via DHCP with sudo dhclient bridge0.
You can then attach as many computers, hub, switches, and other devices as you want through the machine's Ethernet port, and they will all be able to see and communicate with each other. On the downside, if you have a lot of traffic, your computer will spend some extra energy passing all of those Ethernet frames back and forth across the two adapters.

What is the official release date of the MSI wind Linux laptop?
Q. Its the $400 dollar model. the site just says "July" but does anyone know the exact release date for the USA?
A. The first wave already went out to those that pre-ordered them through MSI directly. Supposedly some online retailers will have a shipment of them on 7/21 (monday). Amazon has them for sale now but are not due to ship until mid-late august. This is only for the 3-cell battery version. The 6-cell battery version is due out in September although you can buy the 6-cell battery separate when it comes out.
