Thanks, Renaud; that is what I hoped to hear -- that the EeePC actually can do GoogleEarth -- because I do have occasional need for GE while out on the road. In a previous post I mentioned that I found a retailer who still has a few EeeBook X205 in stock, but nothing else small except a Lenovo N21 ChromeBook which has a 16Gbyte solid-state drive, and 4Gbytes of RAM. I am not familiar with the various EeePC models which have been produced; all I know is that the X205 has a 1366x768 display, an Intel Atom processor, 32Gbytes of flash, and 2Gbytes of RAM. I know Debian fairly well, but I do not have the time and energy to learn another operating system such as MX-14. Russ
