Ok i bought one, love it, its like a babeeeeee, haha. Well what do you think i was going do do first? Windows SIF , like i have already said i love the Linux mint so i upgraded the OS on the second night, I'll let you all know how it goes


Just doing the install now, god love its little heart


bit of mucking around finding an old optical drive and $30 to buy an IDE-SATA-PATA connector that plugs into it but it will be so worth it

Greetings Daz,

The following link to information about the ubuntu-eee script should help you out with your Mint installation, including help with WiFi. Please let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

wow sorry everyone, i have been so busy lately, well the good news is, it just works. its brilliant and thanks for the link on the wireless (truth be known i am no Linux guru so i gave the pc to a mate in a linux club with the URL and he got it running)

apart from a small gripe with the screen resolution and having to drag windows that don't quite fit, it perfect.

i did have to stop using the tasty menu but as it scrolled a little to far across its tiny screen, so i just used the standard menu.

i love it on the train for video play back its great and i upgraded the ram as well.

highly recommend one of these little machines if your after a travel companion and a light laptop solution.

take care all

Daz
