Thanks for the exciting news.
Hi,
ASUS is getting me a EEE after the initial rush is over to try and put
Solaris on it.
I played with on at ASUS the other day.

Hi,
Just the ECS 15.4 inch, it does not require any extra drivers like the

The ECS laptop should come in at less than $1000.
I just put compiz 6.2 on the both of them and it works fine.

Well, maybe if the Sun licensing meant I got a free one :)
Otherwise, that form factor really isn't my cup of tea at all.

Hi,
It's going to take a little while to get something like setkeycodes
into OpenSolaris.
Apart from the function key _ Fn key issues everything else is working

Just finished testing the express pc card slot it's fine.
