Asus Eee 1337ness
Ok, I finally got one - an Asus Eee 901… While at the ShmooCon (back in Feb 2008) I saw a ton of people running around with Asus Eee mini laptops. The last straw came when I saw the Remote-Exploit crowd running a version of BackTrack on their little units. So… I saved up, waited a little bit, and finally grabbed a newer one for myself. Yesterday I got the 901 I ordered from NewEgg, as well as the 2G of RAM to immediately max it out.
Poor thing wasn’t five hours old before I killed Xandros and installed (after much wrestling) Linux Mint 4.0 KDE CE. There’s just something I don’t quite like about giant icons : / (image from theo.netsons.org). Anyway… Most of the write ups I was following were pretty much on the money for creating a bootable USB stick - but the 901 has some issues with recognizing the results of most of those efforts. And, the 901 also does not have a built-in optical drive so a bootable USB is one of two serious methods for alternative OS installation (SD might be another). You can, however, add an external USB optical drive and say to hell with all this nonsense : ).
