[GRLUG] Pre-installed Linux on laptops

[Bob Kline]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC

Amazon lists one unit:

http://www.amazon.com/8-2e9-22-Netbook-Computer-Linux-Black/dp/B001E1OQL8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1264532953&sr=8-3#moreAboutThisProduct

and, indeed, when you check the
technical details it says windoz.  But
that is an option - I think it comes
with Linux by default.

The technical details are pretty skimpy.
e.g., how much RAM.  IMHO it's better to
get a cheap laptop and just run Puppy
or something.  The netbooks look pretty
expensive yet for what you get.  A CPU
with no poop, and pretty lousy battery life.
