[SLUG] Linux netbook?
Does any vendor in Australia sell Linux netbooks? The only one I can find is the original 7 Asus EeePC - everything else seems to be XP. Dell in the US or UK will happily configure me a Mini 9 with Ubuntu, but Dell Australia doesn't offer that as an option.

At least the EeePC 901 and the Aspire One are available with Linux (I bought my Aspire One from OfficeWorks, Linux EeePCs seem to be a lot harder to find in stores). -- -rob -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Those are useful comparison sites, though some of their information is out of date (or the vendors are lying to them about prices to get people to visit.) It seems the current Linux models in Australia are the Asus EeePC 701 and the Acer Aspire One. And if I'm fast I may be able to get a discontinued (with Linux) EeePC 901 or 900. I was hoping for something a bit beefier than the Aspire One, but the price is hard to argue with.

Re: [SLUG] Linux netbook?
the kogan looks really good. i would like to know the sound and network chipsets though. chances are intel or realtek sound, and broadcom or realtek network. the intel video is properly supported by x, although its far from a power house.
