As I said, mine is the Asus EeePC 900 which has a 1 GHz Intel CPU, 1 GByte RAM and 20 GByte SSD; I run 8-CURRENT and KDE 3.5.10 on it, which all run fine and fast. The battery (6600 mAh) last around 4.5 hours. You may fetch my older (RELENG_7) installation guide frome here to get more details: http://www.unixarea.de/installEeePC.txt HiH matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <guru@unixarea.de> - w http://www.unixarea.de/ People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD.
