    HEH! LOL.

    That video made me crack up... Specifically it was some of the soft and only partially successfully stifled chuckling in the background (as the guy drops it on the blue tile floor by the desk) that led me to start thinking this guy was forced by his BOSS to use his BOSS' machine for the weekend to work on a project he didn't sign up for... So he decided to conduct scientific experimentation on the side - a sort of Einsteinian laptop user. No WONDER we never see a face or identifier of any kind! Hmmmmm! Lol. If you buy that Asus Liliputian, don't lend it to any associates who speak French!

    I Read the Dork Talk because it was amusing... I would also advise he is right regarding the probable transitory nature of the eeepc... as with all technology I suppose till the Rapture. Yet, I think getting a used one cheap is best... A year from now infinitely more capable machines in the microscopic line are likely as there are some recent developments in battery tech that have to very much effect this type of device. Like getting the newest 'cutting edge' vid card, if you wait long enough, you'll be dead!

    I have no experience with Linux so I hope the more experienced types above are right! Suppose I could have written that first and saved you all that reading, but The Prophet teaches us all to be mysterious! :-)

    "Hence your nickname?"
