Basically, I just grabbed the box off my front door. About to open it. I already ordered a 16 gig SDHC Class 6 and want some advice on exactly what order of operations I should do from here... example: 1.Update OS? 2.install memory? 3.most essential programs to install 4.essential media One last question I have is, I noticed there is not much memory onboard... can I use the SDHC cards as actual install options. Lets say I want to install my sw on the card vs the internal ram, is that possible. Ok, one last question. I want maps of basically Boston, MA, Orlando, FL and New York City w/buroughs. Is it possible to get those maps installed without logging onto the net. Thanks! PS. I am a Linux NUB/noob. This will be my first experience with the OS.
