Have you seen the Asus Eee PC? No, not just “heard about”, have you actually seen it? It’s a small, elegant, inexpensive, basically a very good value Linux mini laptop. It cost €299 here in “De Peoples Republic, like“.
Joining a wireless network, even WPA2, is a breeze. It’s not the fastest kid on the block but it’s light, efficient, and dammit, it’s cool! The dumbed-down GUI, dubbed “Easy Mode” can (and IMHO should be) quickly replaced with “Advanced Mode”, or good ol’ KDE as it’s more widely known.
For more fun and amusement, and a little bit of nostalgia, install DosBox on it, and then install Windows 3.1 on top of that. How’s that for a blast from the past? (or perhaps simply an abomination, if you prefer).
