[Cialug] eee PC

[Brandon Griffis]

I have a friend on another Linux list that won't shut up about them.  But
honestly I don't get it.  If it were really an inexpensive option, then yes
it'd be rather interesting.  But you can get a "real" laptop for <$400 these
days.  If they were really the initially advertised $200 then it'd be
interesting, but as most are pushing $400 or more I really don't see the
point.

I do think there's a market for something like this if they can put a decent
size screen on it and give at least 4GB for the OS and still keep it around
$200.  But so far nothing I've seen comes close.
