Re: [dwm] subnotebooks take two
I'm using and Asus EeePC 1000H as my laptop, running Ubuntu with DWM. It's pretty useable as a regular laptop as the keyboard is about 90% the size of a standard keyboard. The only real problem I've had with it is the location of the right shift key (it's to the right of the up-arrow key). It's pretty powerful for a netbook but still much smaller than a typical laptop. The battery life is around 3.5-4 hours on linux. On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 8:59 AM, David Tweed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Impressive hacking. I'll have to take a look.

Re: [dwm] subnotebooks take two
I'm using eeepc 1000H, too. What I really like about it is the small size. I was using Thinkpad x-series Notebooks before and what I really miss on the 1000H is the hardware volume control. Nevertheless the connectivity of the eeepc is great and the keyboard is still ok (but still not as good as the ones used in Thinkpads.) As said before, the right shift key is a bit annoying, but I got used to. eee pc is a nice netbook/subnotebook if you want to program a small piece of code on the road :) 2008/11/16, Niki Yoshiuchi [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm using and Asus EeePC 1000H as my laptop, running Ubuntu with DWM.
