Which one is the S101:

I have the 2G Surf (aka 700).  My only complaint is the keyboard size
-- I wish it was 1" wider to accompany a full-sized keyboard sans
number pad.  Other than that it works good enough for my travel needs.
 It is not good enough for day-to-day desktop work.  For that I plug
in an external monitor (1024x768), full keyboard, mouse, and an
external 1 TB USB drive.

The model I have does not allow upgrading the RAM.  However, I can
boot from an external USB drive (e.g. laptop drive or thumb stick) or
an SD card, which is where I've installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix.

I suspect my next laptop will be a 10" model or whatever the smallest
netbook is that has a "normal" size keyboard.
