As we all know by now, the Asus Eee PC has been a massive success for Asus. While that's really nice for the men and women working at Asus, us operating system enthusiasts like the device for another reason: it came pre-loaded with something else than Windows, which creates awareness of alternatives among the public, which in turn helps to diversify the operating system marketplace - something we all want. While the new Eee PC can be pre-loaded with Windows, the Linux version is still there. El Reg takes a look at the Linux version of the new Eee PC 901.

Specs for Acer One, Dell E, and MSI Wind are already available. They all pretty much trump the ASUS EeePC at this point. ASUS is pricing themselves out of this market and will need to find a way to get the prices down if they plan to sell.
I am personally leaning towards a Dell E or MSI Wind. The ACER One is kewl, but they only offer lower specd machines with linux.
