Re: [Nolug] Macbook Air ad

I just got an Asus Eee PC, and I love it. It's perfect. I'm not a huge
Xandros fan, but for a someone who doesn't know much about computers....man
what a deal. Built in wifi, codecs suport out of the box, an sd card slot, 3
usb ports, a built in webcam. This thing rocks. I got a WD 160 gb Passport
to go with it. I took and put 3 partitions onto the passport, a 10gb for
distro testing on this thing, a 40gb for /home, and a 110gb for media. I'm
rockin now :D . I'm definately not interested in the MBA now D
