Here is the small and inexpensive laptop strutting its stuff when it is not restricted to run other the Xandros derivative, which is self-limiting and gives us grief. Here's Xubuntu (dual-boot actually).



I gave a pointer to Stan Beer the other day and he appears to have used it to write an article that made it into Slashdot.

Members of the Linux community have complained that the hot new sub-notebook from Asus, the eeePC, may have violated the spirit of the Linux General Public License (GPL).

Previously on Eee PC:

• Asus Eee's GPL Violation, Xandros Replaced by Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu
• Catching up With Novell's Sibling Sellouts -- Xandros and Linspire
• Xandros and Asus Eee -- to Be or Not to Buy?
• Some Victims of the Novell and Xandros Deals
• Patent Abuse Identified, Patent Abuse Comes Under Fire, Patent Storm Ended, and Patents That Kill
• How Good is a 'Standard' When It's Infected with Software Patents?
