ASUS was the first to distribute a laptop pre-loaded with Linux. They subsequently decided not to distribute Linux versions in Australia. By the way, I have also heard that the native moded for Lenova laptops distributed to schools is also Linux.

Just need to remember to recompile it every time the kernel is updated. Been through that a few times with my EeePC 701 and 1005HA. More recently with Ubuntu 10.04 I find that my 1005HA works fine. It's possible that they've fixed this in the last few days. The kernel upgrade I did last week didn't support it. adrian -- - Xenion - http://www.xenion.com.au/ - VPS Hosting - Commercial Squid Support - - $24/pm+GST entry-level VPSes w/ capped bandwidth charges available in WA - -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
