Although I'm a strong supporter of Linux and open source in general, the Windows vs Linux choice is a personal one. Have you tried getting help with the file system at the <a href="http://forum.eeeuser.com/" rel="nofollow">EeeUser Forum</A>? <a href="http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:getkde" rel="nofollow">Switching to "Advanced Mode"</A> might also help.

Just kidding. ;) Reminds me of the story of the stone-cutter; one of my favourite tales. Can you imagine how good the EEE PC would be if ASUS decided to license Mary Lou Jepsen's display technology? Now, that would be cool! :) Anyhoo, I just realized I'm distracting you from exploring your new notebook, and cluttering your blog, so I'll quit bugging you. ;) Cheers, Julianna! I get well quick! :) Oh, sure… work in the toughest material, why don’t you lol! Just kidding. ;) Reminds me of the story of the stone-cutter; one of my favourite tales.

I'm not intimately familiar with the inner workings, so Wikipedia may be a better resource for that. My <a href="http://sculpture.juliannayau.com/" rel="nofollow">sculptures are all in stone</A>.

My sculptures are all in stone. I love it!

Besides the connectors, are they that different? I think it's cool that you sculpt, btw. My aunt and her daughter work in pottery, although there is a difference. But I love their work. What sort of sculptures/materials do you use? I’m actually quite ignorant on the differences between USB flash keys and SD cards. Besides the connectors, are they that different?

I saw the news about the 8", but decided I had to have one NOW ;) Yup...KDE! Now all I need to do is figure out how to store common user files like my Thunderbird and KOrganizer files on an SD card for both computers. I’m an impulse buyer too.

I'm dying to hear your take the desktop. I'd like to wait for the 8" or larger screen, but I really want one soon... (I'm such an impulse buyer lol). Thank you for the purchasing info, btw. :) Can't wait until we can all mesh on our XOs! We've waited sooo long! Is it reversible? I’m dying to hear your take the desktop.

The direct shutdown thing was easy enough to undo, and I'm now in Advanced Mode (i.e. KDE). Now it works like a real laptop! Nevermind.
