    Yeah, I have 701 (?) 2g surf somewhere. It was kinda fun to do programming in vim in tty, and waaay less fun to compile stuff…

    I wonder how alpine linux would hold up on one of these, as a desktop of course. Alpine is ment for routers so therotically it should work really well.

    Ha ha, a post about the Eee! Dug my 1000H out of the attic a few weeks back, put Mint xfce on it and it works great, pretty zippy! Then I put it back in the attic.

    Had a 100X, back then with 2GB RAM. Worked OOTB with Linux w/o trouble, all hardware supported. Good times. Later, starting your browser maxed out the RAM so not a viable option anymore.

    Nowadays I can happily recommend a HP Stream 11". Works perfectly with Fedora 39, good battery life. (Obviously you don’t want to use such a machine for more than casual work/internet surfing. But as a cheap/solid travel netbook, it is perfect. Typing this message on it.)
