It took some time but I finally got hold of a couple Eee Box PC's. I had some
problems, but got Linux up and configured to run as a light-duty
File/Subversion/VPN server. I'm using Fedora 8, which is what my primary
customer uses, so it's what I use.
Hopefully you're not affected ("only on some models […] mostly in
japan"), but: http://hackaday.com/2008/10/09/buy-an-eee-box-get-a-free-virus/
(Thanks for the writeup, btw!)
That's a nice way to introduce a product. With a virus! But Linux to
the rescue. I wiped it clean and installed Fedora before I connected it
to anything.
Oh, and after testing the power consumption I wandered away and left it
running off the battery. Two days later I noticed, and it was still
running. Hadn't killed the battery.
