Nice hardware. I've had to work on a few of these for some people who bought into the Linpus black hole of hell where some updates or video streaming doesn't work on older models. Deleting Linpus and installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix fixed that one. Dell Minis are nice. So are the Samsung netbooks. Resist the temptation to spend large piles of money. Plenty of nice netbook hardware out there. I still have my EeePC 701 which has done some airports and some more. I now have an EeePC 1005HA which I used to write a Fosdem report for issue 85 of - www.linuxuser.co.uk. Using that I edited 200 photographs from my Nikon camera in one hour. Happy ? Yeh... you bet... only happier when watching England v Australia playing test match cricket or eating roo sarnies.
