[[!tag slug lenovo eeepc Mobile sl300 General x61 nfs Debian]]
I played with a friend’s Atom based EEEPC yesterday. The EEEPC is an amazing achievement considering it’s comparable to the Thinkpad X61, yet it’s a fifth of the price in the UK.
I like the idea of carrying an EEEPC as I’m a bit nervous about losing my $$$ Thinkpad when I am out and about. If it just runs a kiosk like browser, with a HSPDA 3G modem, it would be very handy. I wouldn’t sob as much if it got stolen.
In other news: I upgraded my beloved slug to lenny which I use as a NAS at home, only to get bitten by a serious NFS permission issue in Debian. Urgh.
Update: Thinkpad lovers rejoice. Lenovo has released the EEEPC rival SL300, which seems like half the price of the X61.
