Well - Linpus seems to be a RH derivative - it uses 'yum' for package management - not something I'm that up on, but the webcam works as does the Wi-Fi (I think we've only used the wired Ethernet once!) so blame the distros rather than the hardware. I couldn't get a .config file out of it, but I guess if I looked at the linpus website I could find it - they have all the sources on-line... > Snagged it off Ebay for $300 even after M$ Cashback 30% deal and > retired a Dell 600m that had a cracked screen and the fan flaked out > so it would only run at 600mhz.

That's a prety good price - I didn't think the dual-core Atoms were out yet. I'll wait until I can get something in the UK.. Damn - I've just found it in thet UK too: http://www.lambda-tek.com/componentshop/index.pl?prodID=1606310 Muuuussssust resisssssst ..... I just wish there was a fanless version - one feature which I like in the VIA boards I use. > I am really trying not to spend with things the way they are but that > is hard to resist. Indeed! Damn. Wish I hadn't googled for the dual-core one now. That's only marginally more than I paid for the single core one yesterday. Damn. Damn.
