The ASUS Eee Linux PC from the outside in

I have one. I’m just one in ... well, quite a few thousand, really – but nevertheless, their supply has been surpassed by the demand. Yes, I’m talking about the ASUS Eee PC, the diminutive priced highly popular subnotebook which has brought Linux to the masses. Here are my complete first impressions and experiences, from the box through power on.

First, a disclaimer: I was fortunate to get hold of an Eee. I called my local Myer store - the exclusive distributor in Australia - to be told they sold all they had on the first day. I next asked the firm performing public relations for ASUS if they had a review unit I could borrow. They said yes, but due to demand, it wouldn’t be available until next year and even then just for a week.
