IIRC they announced there would be a couple of different revisions with different storage sizes (and I'm sure one of the higher spec models had a model built in too). For a portable machine running Linux you can't go wrong :-) I can't help but wonder though that Microsoft might try and persuade RM to bundle the machines with something like Windows XP Embedded (due to the data storage constraints - I certainly doubt a standard install of Vista would fit). I'll stick one on my christmas list and hope for the best. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
