I'm writing this on an Asus eee 1005PE that I've run maybe 13 flavors<br>
of linux on. Right now I'm booting to Bohdi linux with Enlightenment<br>
17, boot to ram with persistence on the hard drive.<br>
<br>
Most times everything 'just runs' out of the box.<br>
<br>
I've seen these selling for ~$100 lately.<br>
<br>
Let us know what you decide on.<br>
