OT: Asus small & cheap Linux laptop

[Richard Kreiss]

Was reading the business section of the Baltimore Sun and there was an
article on the Asus Eee PC.  This is an ultraportable costing $400.00 loaded
with Linux.

It comes with 4GB solid state hard drive. The writer gets about 3.5 hours
from the battery.

This laptop looks like the new Apple but is a lot cheaper.

Since Asus modified Linux to work on this machine, I'm not sure if the Linux
version of fp will run properly.
