I went to the PC Show on Thursday and found the EeePC selling at a promotional price of $398/-, a $200 discount from the original retail price. It was too tempting to resist, so I grabbed one. I am truly impressed with what this little thing can do.
Many critics of open source claim that Linux is for geeks and that you cannot avoid the command line. Well, the EeePC does not allow you to get into command line mode, at least I don't know how to. The implementation is so transparent most users do not even know they are using Linux. I think this ultra-mobile is doing for Linux and open source what all the evangelizing enthusiasts cannot. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
