I bought an ASUS EeePC 1005HA there a couple of weeks ago & have just finished checking out the hardware, which is ok. Your preference costs CAD 50 more, but features various improvements; they seem to have sold out of the ASUS except the pink version (grin). My next task is to look at the BIOS & make a bootable USB stick with System Rescue on it, then decide whether to keep M$ XP around & which version of Linux to install, probably Gentoo, but I'm wary of doing a lot of compiling on the tiny machine (alternatives wb Arch or Slackware). Does anyone know how far it's feasible to compile pkgs on a desktop -- I have a powerful machine with upto-date Gentoo for everyday use -- , then copy the results via USB stick into a netbook ? Sorry not to answer your question directly, but this is related (smile). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
