Seeing a sub-$300 Linux-based ASUS EEE PC 900A on the shelves at a retail store… I couldn’t resist making an impulse purchase.
Even with the “Easy Mode” UI in place, all it takes is a Ctrl+Alt+T and I have a bash shell, ready to ssh into my other machines.
The keyboard is small but functional. I can touch type, albeit with higher than normal error rates at this point. The trackpad is a bit sensitive. Meanwhile, I’m using the keyboard more for navigation.

Not much in the way of free space, but if I want to store something big, I can use the SD slot.
