Ergonomics are a big one here My eee 900 is small, and expandable, but for real hacking requiring lots of typing at the terminal, the keyboard is too narrow and the keys are too small, so you will be using backspace alot... My wife has an Aspire One (retired coworkers hacktop) which was great for her school... the keyboard is much better for typing quickly, little wider screen too which is nice. -PJ Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:53:34 +0200 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Pauldotcom] Netbook & Distro for Bob
Funny thing, my friend's name is Bob, too! He uses a now a little bit seasoned Asus eeePC 901. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC#Eee_900_series The 13000mAh battery from Amazon extends the battery life to up to 10 hours. An 802.11n capable Wifi card plus external antenna connector does the rest. Not to mentione that BT5 runs quite reasonable on it. I recommend to run the distro of your choice from an SD card though as the built in SSD is f....ing slow. ...want more inspirations?

He was hoping the OS he boots to would be anonymized every time (randomized MACs, hostname, etc. and any other privacy countermeasures). Sorry, I know Bob is pretty paranoid, I tell him so all the time... Bob would appreciate any advice or recommendations.
