Asus Eee PC 900 Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| Upon its release last fall, the Asus Eee PC 4G was a diminutive sight to
| behold: Sure, the tiny Linux-based system demanded some sacrifices, but we
| were still buying what this budget ultraportable was selling, presumably to
| cash-strapped shoppers and travelers who wanted a cheap second notebook for
| the road.

Linux after one year
,----[ Quote ]
| I have some friends who now run Linux on their desktops and have purchased
| Asus eees. But I look forward to the day when institutions I work with --
| especially trade unions -- take the decision to move away from expensive,
| insecure, buggy software marketed by the Microsoft monopoly. I'm sure those
| unions will discover as I have that once you've made the switch, you won't
| ever look back.

That's why Microsoft is so scared os low-cost Linux laptop and is willing to
dump XP copies for just 9 quid apiece.

| When I first received the Eee PC, it took about ten minutes of charging to
| get it to boot up, and my pleasure with my Eee was almost immediate.

Microsoft can't even give it away

| To sweeten the pill, there is also a considerable price incentive in buying a
| basic portable with GNU/Linux installed as opposed to one with Windows XP,
| which not only costs about 30 per cent more, but also has the nerve to
| require more storage space and memory.

2007's most important IT lesson is spelled with an Eee
,----[ Qote ]
| The Eee shows too just how out of date the 'is Linux ready for the desktop?'
| argument is. Yes it is. Anyone can pick up an Eee with its standard Linux
| distro - or with a number of freely available alternatives - and just use it.
| That alone revitalises the 'is this paid-for operating system value for
| money?' question.
