I purchased an ASUS Eee PC 900A a few weeks ago and I found myself using it more than my main system.

A few weeks ago I purchased an ASUS EeePC 900A and I absolutely love the little netbook.
The default Xandros install was horrible. It mounts the file systems under UnionFS which blocks you from upgrading the packages as it effectively eats up all disk space if you try it.

Needless to say, Xandros got wiped off the system faster than I was initially going to remove it.

After adding a 2GB stick of Corsair RAM into the unit, I installed Archlinux and never looked back.
I have noticed that I have begun to use my Eee PC 900A a lot more than my main system or my older laptop.

I am preaching to the choir here, but I highly recommend that everyone uses Openbox on their netbook (and heck on their main machines as well :P). A window manager will always outperform a full blown desktop environment on this hardware.

If anyone is interested here is my 900A's desktop:

I finally got around to replacing my aging multimedia setup that consisted of an Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 SB0100 sound card combined with a Cambridge SoundWorks (Creative) DeskTop Theater 5.1 DTT2200 speaker system.

Having been a loyal Creative customer that has used their products since the days of the Sound Blaster 16, I had wanted to wait until the Sound Blaster X-Fi had proper drivers for GNU/Linux before making any major upgrades again.

Unfortunately, I finally tired of waiting and I did what any normal consumer in this situation would do. I voted with my pocket book and gave my money to another company.

I ended up purchasing the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card and a Logitech G51 Surround Sound Speaker System.

Everything sounds great and I am now left with the feeling of "why didn't I do this earlier?".
