ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB E-Storage, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony

I bought this netbook for my 10 year old daughter. I bought this Windows XP model, just because there is no Linux equivalent of Eee PC 1000HA on sale(Asus, are you listening?). I promptly installed Eeebuntu Standard on it. Atheros wireless card was very very slow initially. I found the solution on web, that was the only issue I had to fix. Other than that every thing worked beautifully. Compiz 3D desktop effects worked like a charm(even while running live CD version!). Compiz performance is as good as on my Dell Latitude(Core 2 Duo T9300 2.50 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Quadro NVS 140M 512 MB graphics card). Eeebuntu looks cool on this netbook, Windows XP looks dated(as any electronic product that is 8 years old should) and rudimentary. Desktop cube in Eeebuntu is particularly helpful, virtually expanding the desktop real estate. In Windows XP I would feel claustrophobic due to small screen. I don't see us booting in to Windows as we got used to using latest and greatest software from Ubuntu. Asus conveniently created two partitions, so I just have to install Eeebuntu on one, leaving Windows on another partition.Get more detail about ASUS Eee PC 1000HA 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 10 GB E-Storage, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony.
