Re: [orca-list] laptop with linux and ubuntu

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

Good day,
This is a sub-notebook.
It is a flash drive, not a hard disk.
Also look at the EEE_PC by Asus which has good linux support.
The good things in the one you are looking at, is that it has the atom 
processor which should give you long battery life.
512 mb ram is on the low end for running Orca though.
HTH, Willem
