"Kid Computers"

,----[ Quote ]
| So I went into the electronics section and asked about Wii availability. Then 
| a nutty idea came to me, in a toy store yes, I asked, about "sub notebooks". 
| The guy said that we didn't have anything except "kid computers" I looked 
| over in the direction he was pointing and saw the "Eee" display. "Kid 
| computers", I thought? Happy to see them I noticed the white Eee701 was 
| Windows XP and with no flag logo I assumed (and the sales guy told me I was 
| right) that the black Eee701 was Linux. What a great surprise to actually see 
| the Eee701 in an electronics section of a toy store.

The Eee PC and Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| Some weeks ago I set off a small firestorm of comments when I panned the
| Linux implementation that comes with the Eee PC. The Debian fork is OK but in
| an attempt to make the Eee PC as user friendly as possible it's been dumbed
| down a little too much.
