What exactly are net tops actually i am looking for a low cost / low power regular computing solution. The problems with netbooks are that they over time will get tiring , if some one wants to use it for a few hours a day. My understanding it that these desktop pc's are both low cost and low power but still retain the capability of pretty impressive computing - office apps, multimedia etc, apart from net connectivity. But the specs don't mention what is missing - say does it have an optical drive or not etc. Nor the power configuration - it would be ideal and amzing if it could run of 12 volt DC regards ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] Any one using a EEEPC BOX with Ubuntu
Hi I understand that apart from the eeepc laptop there is also a non laptop eeepcs which are low powered. So am wondering if anyone has used them and how well they perform with Ubuntu. http://in.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=QUObl5lSRQQ3lSqJ also any idea what it costs it seems like the eeepc has become quite expensive - the new 1100ha model retailing for some 28 k (wow) ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
