I use a refurbished eeepc that was 179 bucks. I use the Linux OS that came on it and it works great. I really like having multipe profiles that I can switch bewtween rather than configuring the IP every time.
Screen is a little tough to see but I know what I'm looking at so I can make out enough to click the right thing. - Jerry -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Robert West Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2010 10:08 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Netbook/Mini for the field? I use netbooks up on the towers now. Great for simple configs and tests but I put a full size laptop back in the van because the keys and screen are too small to do any serious work on for any length of time.
