that being said, this thing is great. the Linux community really supports the hell out of it.

i think i heard you can get OSX running on it too, but why bother. these Linux distros are so lightweight it's silly.

heh yeah...check it...

Considering an EEEPC 9inch...any experience with it to share? - The Earth Ghost 2008-08-12 11:30:02 (42 views)

heh, I just got one delivered today - it's totally cute! got the 901 / Linux / 1 gb RAM version - absoludicrous 2008-08-12 22:00:24 (31 views)

Is it fast? I leaning towards the Windows Version. - The Earth Ghost 2008-08-13 00:43:32 (14 views)

I just did this keyboard remap. the up arrow where the shift usually is was killing me. - jtown 2008-08-12 22:34:51 (70 views)

i was unclear - i did go straight to 2gb - just popped the card in - thanks for the key mapping link - absoludicrous 2008-08-12 23:06:29 (25 views)

oh does the 901 have a second slot for memory? the 701 only has one. - jtown 2008-08-13 00:37:57 (22 views)

i just replaced the 1gb with a 2 - no 2nd slot. I need to update the xandros kernel to recognize it - absoludicrous 2008-08-13 01:05:24 (16 views)

funny - i just bought one from a coworker as a laptop to have in a pinch. - jtown 2008-08-12 21:18:48 (36 views)

I'm leaning towards the 9inch. My biggest worry: Will it be fast enought w/ Windows on it (or OSX)? - The Earth Ghost 2008-08-13 00:48:16 (14 views)

with enough RAM I'm sure. depends on what you really need app-wise. - jtown 2008-08-13 01:02:11 (16 views)

yeah - a couple rebate visa gift cards made it *feel* like ~450 - and that felt just about right - absoludicrous 2008-08-13 01:08:33 (19 views)

figure Eees have a pretty decent resale value, so you could always get ~200 back from the *nix crowd - jtown 2008-08-13 09:39:49 (18 views)
