The real kicker is that prices for the 2 pound laptop are supposed to start as low as $200, and the Intel / Asus duo won't be aiming this at massive governmental purchases, but instead will be offering it to consumers through traditional retail channels.

The Eee line will kick things off with the Eee PC 701, which will sport 802.11b/g WiFi, Ethernet and a modem for connectivity, along with a webcam, 512MB of RAM and a 4, 8 or 16GB flash drive for speedy, reliable storage. Asus didn't even leave Palm alone with its Wii comparisons either, stating that the Eee name, which stands for "easy to learn, easy to play, easy to work," also conveniently conjures images of the Wii game console, which is known for being novice-friendly. The 7-inch ultraportable is based on an unnamed Intel chipset, and runs regular Windows XP or Linux without a problem, but really shines in its "easy" mode that strips things down to a barebones OS mainly for internet browsing (sound familiar, Foleo?). For Linux lovers, note the CTRL+ALT+T terminal window it gives a great feeling to get dirty with a bash shell and makes. The computers feature 7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel displays, 900MHz Intel Celeron processors, as little as 512MB of RAM, and solid state. Al principio estuve haciendo pruebas, de vez en cuando lo utilizaba, sobre todo para navegar mientras veía la tele, pero poco más. The 701 was the first generation of Eee PC netbooks from Asus. Specs and launch plans aren't entirely nailed down, but this new Eee PC line has quite a bit going for it, even as crowded as this market is getting. Join me next Monday as I go deeper under the hood of the ASUS Eee Linux PC. Linux en un Asus Eee PC 701 Tenía un ASUS Eee PC desde el año 2008, y la verdad es que apenas lo utilizo.

I would second George's suggestion of using Puppy Linux but would install it rather than running as a live CD, especially since the eee pc does not have a CD drive - you can install from a USB stick - unless you have an external CD drive available. Asus and Intel seem to be bridging the gap between the fairly humanitarian efforts of the OLPC project and their own Classmate PC efforts, and the recent rash of mini-laptop attempts such as Palm's Foleo and VIA's NanoBook. Current installed version is Linux Mint 15.
