everything you can do in a portable version of Windows you can do on one of these Linux distros at like 1/2 the overhead. i'd read up on all of the OS'es tho - the benchmarks might be comparable?

running Vista on these things just doesn't sound like that much fun IMO. then again I'm all about *nix. I don't run any MS in my house.

Considering an EEEPC 9inch...any experience with it to share? - The Earth Ghost 2008-08-12 11:30:02 (41 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 (30 views)

Is it fast? I leaning towards the Windows Version. - The Earth Ghost 2008-08-13 00:43:32 (13 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 (69 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 (24 views)

oh does the 901 have a second slot for memory? the 701 only has one. - jtown 2008-08-13 00:37:57 (21 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 (35 views)

what is it pricey compared to? all the micro pcs from other companies ive seen - fanofnothing 2008-08-12 23:48:37 (18 views)

i don't like paying for hardware period, so 3-400$ to me is too much for a novelty like the Eee. - jtown 2008-08-13 00:42:14 (18 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 (18 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)
