Eee PC

[stuka at mindspring.com]

My GF has one, and that's how she runs it.  I don't use a tuning program and so couldn't test it on hers, but she is very happy with the Linux/Wine combination and delighted to be out from under evil greedy idiot MicroShaft's thumb. When she gets home I'll ask her about battery life.  One can always plug this thing in at many of the places one is tuning, but I'll check.  What kind of battery life would you find acceptable, marginal, unacceptable...?  (Of course, optimal would be that it lasts forever, heh...)
