Every single one from the Eee to Dell vaporware. And as we all are delighted to see, most run Linux and about half don't even offer Windows as an option.

Problem is that not every Linux installed on this devices is as good configurated as the one on Eee PC.
On http://forums.mininoteuser.com there a some reports about the very bad configured Linux on HP Mini-Note  ???

Part of the problem with the eee in particular was because Asus was slow to release code. Other distros should work well now that their changes to the acpi driver are available.

@Andreas: It can happen, but the general direction of even using Linux is very nice

@curaga: I´d totally agree with you.
That´s why I´m so disappointed with the HP Linux implementation  :cool:
