I have an asus eee sitting around... I put eeexbuntu on it so its not running the original os (btw, I recommend this... but there must be downsides)
I could easily nail it up to the net so you could ssh into it which supports using vnc to view the screen though most of what you'd need would probably "just work" over ssh (with the right ports forwarded). Its also running openvpn... so if you wanted to go whole hog... but ssh gets you most of the way. links I had in a tomboy note: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home ------------------------------ http://ubuntucare.com/2007/12/11/ubuntu-on-the-asus-eee-pc-part-1/ actually at: http://www.sampletheweb.com/2007/12/09/ubuntu-on-the-asus-eee-pc-part-1-or-how-to-run-a-functional-ubuntu-install-off-a-usb-drive/ and here's the ubuntu docs on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC Let me know. -glenn On Fri, 2008-05-09 at 13:01 -0700, mabshoff wrote: > On May 9, 9:27 pm, "David Joyner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi David, > > > It turns out that next year it is very possible that all USNA freshamn will > > have > > an asus eee.
