Hi all guys !that's first time i write in, but i'm following SLUG from time.
Impressions about EEEPC are wonderful, hackings are well documented. i do really agree with martin, since umpc can't compete with low-price of eee, and they dont have Solid State DIsks, wich are one of advantages in ASUS. if you add that here in italy we have a bonus for temporary workers, it will cost you 99 €. maybe you have smthng similar in AUS ? it is prefect with KISMET, GPSDRIVE, AIRCRACK_NG, and also it is the perfect diagnose pc, with it's little size and good battery (needs some cycles to go full power). its components are top quality, and screen readabilty is hence good, practice is the secret !! LOL surely space is a limit, but you can couple with portable 2.5" usb hdd or a NAS ..... compiz make it superb (xubuntu, no xandros anymore, also if it is good). note that hw/firmware releases are available only if xandors installed, so watch out ! last note, models sent after january don't support much hacking, since they don't have the supplementary mini-pci ... bye from italy, Max On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 9:01 AM, Erik de Castro Lopo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Martin Visser wrote: > > > There were dozens at LCA last month - geek envy abounded. > > Nah, the *real* geek envy was all around John Ferlito's > Dell XPS, with the 4G of RAM and the 160G drive that was > way more gorgeous than *any* of the Apple laptops I've > seen. > > Erik > -- > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Erik de Castro Lopo > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Unsolicited Broadcast Email is Forced Pay-per-view > Advertising. > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html > -- Massimiliano Fantuzzi, IT Professionist & System Builder www.fantuz.net // [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
