Joining the Netbook world
I may be a slow adopter but I've finally jumped on the Netbook bandwagon.
I've been toying with the idea of getting hold of one of these beasties for a little while, and today a deal on Zazz! came up I couldn't resist.
They have the Asus Eee PC S101 for an amazing $444AUD. I'd seen them around the $999 price tag only as recent as March this year. (I think they are $599 RRP currently).
So in went my order.
Now -- what Netbook distro should I run on it (Windows XP Home is coming off immediately when it arrives).
I've looked at gOS and the Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
Any ideas/thoughts on the preferred Linux OS to run on such a beastie are greatly welcomed!
