EEEPC cheap GNU/Linux laptop http://jaromil.dyne.org/journal/eeepc.html The EEEPC is the travelling deck in my first Indonesian travel. This new 7" Asus model is amazingly cheap: I bought it in Singapore in December 2007 for 600 SGD, approx 300 EUR, while the predicted cost in Indonesia is 3 millions IDR. It is completely solid state and comes equipped with a Pentium M with 512 of RAM and 4GB of internal storage, has wifi modem and ether-net, usb2.0, sound-card and even a web-cam. I place my bet this machine is going to break through the market in the coming year. Ready to be used when bought, it comes with a user friendly installation of Xandros (Debian based) well configured for a newbie or anyone used to work on M$ wind-blows. I didn't really kept the original system intact, instead worked on tweaks since the very first day, now it fits almost perfectly my geeks needs: GCC and Emacs running very smooth on it... once I'm back in EU i might find the time to release a new distribution ;) This computer alone makes it worth to visit Singapore these days, especially considering that in Europe is not yet available on the consumer market (started shipping in UK the 16 November for educational institutions only ). Superior by far to whatever the OLPC will become: this is not a toy for kids, it's a real computer and there is not top-down control on its distribution and development, it just hits the market and you can buy it cheap, that's it. Hope will be so in Europe soon, else I'll have to carry back too many for friends and I'm not so familiar with customs. _______________________________________________ incom-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/incom-l -- FelipeFonseca http://efeefe.no-ip.org - Blogue http://bricolabs.net - BricoLabs, né? http://metareciclagem.org - Nova versao! http://pub.descentro.org - Virou... _______________________________________________ Lista de discussão da MetaReciclagem Envie mensagens para [email protected] http://lista.metareciclagem.org
