I am a little disapointed with the linux asus has put on it, and would love to run ubuntu on it.

No image on the screen. The two front lights are on but you need to hard reset it (hold power button down 8 seconds). I am going to do a reinstall and this time add a swap. Unless it is a power saving issue, not sure yet. and it was going okay but quite often when she walks away from it and come back sometimes in 5 minutes sometimes a day it is blank and frozen.

I will take care of it next week. I am looking forward to hearing more about Ubuntu Netbook Remix cause we are trying to offer an Ubuntu desktop to Non-profits in the area. We are doing okay right now and w/ this new interface I wonder if it is worth moving people into it. If 3 people in the office use it and the rest use regular ubuntu then it is not worth it. It will be neat to hear the reviews. Thanks…

I couldn't find a Linux 901 in stock and also was a little hesitant about the weight and space that it takes. The downsides for my use of the 701 are the smaller keyboard (which sucks badly) and the lack of PAE (so I can't run Xen). Apart from that it's great. I would not describe the menu as being good for anyone like me, but I think it would be good for novices and young children. I just bought myself a 701.

There are a few bugs, so when the laptop resumes from sleep you can't click around the main interface, but generally it is really nice, and to be honest kind of preferable to the normal menu system. I'll be posting again in a month or so with more feedback but at this early stage I'm loving it. Thanks Russell for that, Alfred the netbook remix is great.
