Yes, but I think this is disabled in the Acer's Linpus Linux. However,
you can use "search for files" (I guess that is using Thunar) to open an

I too am considering one of these extremely portable notebooks. My own
opinion is that the ideal notebook is small, light, truly portable while
still being useful. I have been using a Del C400 as my main notebook

901's screen is big enough for me, and i am using it as a helper for everydays

which is used for xterm and firefox, and 901 - for mail, documents and per

What do people think about such an EEE PC as low budget option to run
