Very cool!

This is the first I've heard of the Eee PC (pulls head out of sand). I see that it ships with Linux. Your guide looks as though it's using Windows. Did you install windows first or did you use the AmiKit Linux distro?

Thanks,

You can get versions with XP now, plus a new version on the way that does 1024x800...

At greater expense...

Yes, but the new version is more useful.

A lot of websites these days require 1024 wide screens as a minimum. So I welcome the new one. And it's only a little bit bigger because they just made better use of the lid.

I'm looking forward to the new Eee but I think I have to wait about 5 or 6 months before it will be available here at normal prices.

Even more websites don't work with Ibrowse, so this has to be a step up!

the Icons look very big, but remember AFA have ability of realtime icon scale to a fixed size choosable in afa_prefs.This work for OS4 and PNG Icons in high quality and no measurable speedloss

so icons can make smaller for the small eepc display

Here's my Eee running OS 3.9 under E-UAE (note the bonus A500 in the background):

It's running eeeXubuntu 7.10. It's still clocked down to 630MHz, because I haven't installed the kernel module that lets you clock it back up to 900MHz yet. It runs fine at 630MHz though!

I think Asus got it wrong this time with the new version.

£340 for an Asus eeePC? They should have dropped the 20GB SSD disk and offered it at a lower price.

For £340 you can get a better, much faster laptop.

Shame...

It is a little high, but there are many differing factors to the eee vs what else your money will get - form factor, battery life, SSD etc...

OK, so I just got my Eee PC yesterday and would like to install AmiKit. This is the four gig version with the standard Eee PC version of Linux installed. I don"t want to go Windows or even EeeXUbuntu. Is it still possible with the basic setup?
