[Leaplist] Asus with Wondows XP

[Danny W. Burdick]

There is no problem installing Linux on the eeepc
I have two 1000's the ones that came with Linux installed

The problem with buying the 1000HA (the one with windows on it)
is Asus didn't take kindly to the 800lb redmond gorilla trying to push
them around hahaha
and when they released the windows version of the machine...they
left out all of the high tech hardware goodies....

The linux model comes with
bluetooth
gigabit ethernet
802.11N
solid state hard drive
1.3 mhz webcam

the windows version has none of these.....

it comes instead with regular 802.11 G
regular 10/100 ethernet
no web cam
no solid state hard drive and a small hard drive 80gig
and no bluetooth

all the fun is missing....

I will bring mine with me to Orlando Hamfest
