After using the EeePC 701 for a while I realized that the screen was simply too small to be useful. I switched to the EeePC 901 and thought that the screen resolution was a huge improvement.

But after a couple of months with that, I realized that as a real day-to-day system the keyboard simply was too small for my fingers. So as of today I have an EeePC 1000. And I love it.

40GB of SSD (8GB sda and 32GB sdb). 1GB memory (already upgraded to 2GB). Bluetooth, Wireless (b/g/n). 10″ screen with 1024×600 resolution (hey Asus, how about a higher resolution LCD? just dreaming…). And most importantly a 92% keyboard.

I have a relatively standard Fedora 9 running on it and am extremely happy with that.

Well, except for the boot time – I am writing this post sitting in Arjan’s “boot in 5 second” talk at Linux Plumbers Conference and would really like to see some of these changes in my F9 setup… I’ll have to talk to him about that afterwards.
