Hi Chipp, I too have an EeePC (the 1000h w/10" screen). I absolutely love it!!!! The first thing I did was install Ubuntu (special version modified for tiny screens). I can boot into XP home or Ubuntu Hardy in less than a minute. I have Rev installed in both OS's. The greatest thing I added was the leather cover/case from http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=6971 Everyone thinks it is a day-timer/planner until I open it and start typing. :-) Another cool add-on for dual-boot systems is the EXT2FS for Windows. This allows Windows to see the Linux partition as another drive letter. This way, I can keep my Rev stacks centralized regardless of which OS that I am currently running. More info on this add-on is available at http://www.fs-driver.org/ I know the smaller versions of the Eee may be too small for Revs Objects menu, but on the 10" screen it fits in the 1024x768 compressed mode. In Ubuntu, only 1024x600 is available and the bottom of the menu is cut off. You can get around this by rotating the screen 90 degrees (via built-in software) to click OK. Eventually I hope the 768 compressed video driver will be supported. Or better yet... if Rev had an Eee version of the RevGUI.
