OT: Linux netbooks?

I bought the Asus Eee 900a w/Linux around 5 months ago. DO NOT expect this to become a primary means of doing anything, even spending a couple of hours on the net. I payed 200$ new, at Best Buy. The other day I had enough and bought a real Toshiba laptop for 300$. These things seem "nifty", but they do not, IMHO, supplant a real laptop. As a secondary when_all_else_fails backup, I suppose they're ok. Don't expect the trackpad or recalcitrant mouse buttons to last much longer then 3 or 4 months. It's a bit flakey besides, but the actual electronics seem rugged enough. Laptops have become so dirt cheap, I can't see paying much more then 100$ for one of these, and that is new. To it's credit, you open the box (just after buying it) and you're right on the net. I have no love for Windoze, and plan to promptly expunge it from the new Toshiba I bought. I did learn a few Chinese phrases though with this thing. I'll also point out that the "paint" program that comes bundled w/this version of Xandros or whatever it is has 1/2 the utility of the program that comes w/XP. There are later distros that can be upgraded to ("easy peasy" is one), but I haven't gotten to that far yet. The benefit of a SSDD is that you don't have to worry about dropping it (no i don't mean from atop the eiffel tower), which I've done twice. No problemo.
