    Are you using a first gen eeePC?
    I think I bought one of those for 40€, 12 years ago.

        In an alternate universe, phones with a fold-out hardware keyboard and full Linux OS are common.
        And you can just plug them into a docking station to get a full PC.

        I put OSX on mine. A $200 Macbook mini was a cool project and a neat conversation piece.

          Are you me? I hackintoshed mine too for a while! Was still alternating between OSX and Linux at the time.

            I wish I had moved to Linux sooner. I was in IT at the time and only saw windows and OSX in the wild. Servers were all windows except for one xserve. I still to this day have no idea what that server did for that customer. My only real experience with Linux at that time was FreePBX when setting up phone systems for offices.

            Thirded on the hackentosh.

            I can neither confirm nor deny I got my hands on one years later and flipped it on fleBay with the Mac OS on it.
