Tomorrow I will go to the countryside - and I am packing. Not underwear and such trivial things but files, passwords, computers, books, game-rules, comic pages etc.
In short:
Digital packing.
I never really relied to much on free commercial cloud services, I dislike having my personal things data-mined. But I have some server-space that acts as a password-protected cloud. Then I still use my 9 years old Asus eee PC 901 - durable and small and perfect when travelling. Only problem this year is that I tried to install the LXDE windows-manager instead of KDE. I did it to see if the much lighter system would increase speed and things, but it seems KDE is not as heavy and bloated as they say - and I realised how much I actually use the KDE features - and how much I prefer single-click to double-click. Kde allows you to customize that, but I haven't found it in LXDE.
I even have had problems installing essential things like AES-crypt and kde-connect, so when the Mageia team hopefully soon finishes Mageia 6 I will go for a slim KDE-install again.
Don't forget your Wellingtons ;-)

Ah, they're lovely those little "netbooks". I still keep my eeepc 1000h going for that sort of thing. I went for lubuntu after all the efforts for dedicated eeepc linux flavours ran out.
When I use mine I've a routine bunch of text files that I work on and mirror to a server, saves lots of pinging back and forth of larger files and I think it's better for my thinking too, helps me to pare it down to basics.
have fun!

How fun! A brother in small, old eeepc! And you are right all the restrictions only work as a enhancer of my concentration. It's a special feeling to have all you need in such a small device. I even write differently, because of the small keyboard. Some years ago I made a lot of writing, and when I got stuck I took the 901 and went somewhere or just out in the kitchen, and suddenly I could think clear again.

If it is still working, it is good :) as long as you have something to take with you while traveling.

Nine years is a long time for a laptop - and I have used it a lot. Sometimes they just manufacture something that works... sometimes.

I have a Samsung netbook I could resurrect. It does need a new battery. Cool that they are still usable

I bought a new battery for this one. Seems to be the part that is most prone to failure.

Great one. When we are going to holiday our digital instrument is a big problem in packing. Good one.
