and more than likely from people who didn't purchase a netbook. In those days, you weren't buying a netbook for the same purpose as a notebook, and the eee os was quite satisfactory for it's purpose (even though the likes of ubuntu netbook remix make it look like shit nowadays): much better than windows xp from where I can see it.

We should start an IT consultancy. You can be the guy who delievers the final report, always starting with the words "You WANKERS, stop using WINDOWS!"

My laptop has the balls of a netbook, and the screen of a true a warrior notebook. Ancient, its 1.6ghz sempron seems to be close to most netbooks, it cost me a whole $25 to get 512mb more ram for it, and it has a hard drive AND an SSD where the CDROM once existed. I couldn't find a CDROM for it. A new battery cost $50. It cost me $75 to get an old piece of shit a bit more up to standard, and close in my mind to a netbook. What does it run? Debian Squeeze. I like it for the same reasons you seem to like Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Only I have a 1280x800 15.4" display I can actually read, and its heavy weight compared to modern laptops leaves me with a formidable weapon.
