Eee PC

I finally got my Asus Eee PC which I ordered from Germany because they haven't arrived yet to Nordic countries. It is just as good as I excepted. I played a bit with the default Xandros install but didn't like it, so I installed eeeXubuntu. Now I can install anything from Ubuntu repositories. I installed Emacs and NetHack and compiled MPlayer. System bootup is much slower with eeeXubuntu than with Xandros, possibly because Xandros uses finit. People have succesfully used finit with eeeXubuntu, so I might try it as well. Eee is by far the best laptop I've ever used.
