Perhaps a quick search on google would have been useful, because Asus is selling EeePCs with linux in all three of their screen sizes, and there's also Ubuntu-eee that's been remade to work with these netbooks.

They do make the larger one with Linux, but I haven't seen one in Oz. I haven't looked for information for a couple of months now, but when I was asking around to see if anyone had replaced the winxp version with linux I couldn't get a straight answer. Lots of maybes and ifs, and go here and there (neither here nor there really knew either). Maybe someone has done it since. jules spodosaurus wrote: > Andrew Rich wrote: >> I have had an ASUS eeepc the linux version with the smaller screen. >> >> I have since sold it. >> >> I see there is an eeepc out with a larger screen, will linux run on it ? >> >> Andrew >> > > There are three screen sizes, and multiple versions of each screen size. > Perhaps a quick search on google would have been useful, because Asus is > selling EeePCs with linux in all three of their screen sizes, and > there's also Ubuntu-eee that's been remade to work with these netbooks. > > Ari >
