Interesting. I like my MBP, but I'm doing more bicycle commuting and
the weight is almost prohibitively cumbersome. I've been thinking
about the EeePC, esp. since Rev 2.9 is so much nicer on Linux now.
But alas the 900 series is now U$600, so it's no longer the no-brainer
purchase it once was. How do you like yours?

I've got the 701 with the 7" screen. The 900 is more appealing but I got
the 701 in November. Before they sold out...:-)
I've just put 2.9 on it and although rev says 1024x768 the 800x600
seems okay. I'm going to put it on the desktop tonight. And I would
recommend the new Mandriva spring for anyone wanting to easilly try linux.
We've just got an EEE to play with - the 900, which has 1024 x 600 screen (btw
Bob, where did you find System Requirements? - I've looked on the RunRev site
and couldn't find them anywhere).
I've not yet got further than figuring out how to get to 2.9 to launch (the
EEE comes stock in 16-bit mode; there's no GUI support - that I've found - for
changing the screen depth; launching Rev from the GUI fails silently; but if
you launch Rev from the terminal, it fails with an error that it requires 32
bit display. The helpful interweb reveals that you can edit a config file to
restart the EEE in 24 bit, and this is sufficient to get Rev to launch.
Phew!) After getting that far I've not had the energy to play further with
Rev - but I'm planning to take the EEE on vacation instead of my MBP, and give
it a proper test then.
