Eee PC!
My Eee PC finally arrived. I played with the original Xandros/Asus interface for a day, and then moved to Ubuntu. My encrypted $HOME howto worked, but I kept /real_home on a SD card and added "noatime" to every FS mount.
One fallout is that I can't suspend - the SD card is a USB device and gets reset on suspend/resume. Also, the /var/log, /var/run, /var/tmp and /tmp are tmpfs filesystems. /var/cache/apt/ is a bind mount from the SD card to save the SSD from excessive writes.
Processing RAW images from my camera was a problem till I swapped the RAM with one of the modules from my Vostro 1400. GIMP works pretty smoothly now.
