People have been saying for some time that operating systems will eventually just become windows to the "cloud" (essentially browsers) and everyone will just use web applications, but now a company called CherryPal is really doing it. Plus, the CherryPal uses only 2 Watts of power.

I agree with you, it is a little too limited for my use. So you will have to buy a cheap USB hub to plug in your USB devices. If it had Firewire and a DVI video output with a faster CPU I would buy one. Asus has a mini PC Box version of the eee which is more powerful and would probably serve better as a Linux box.

I like the idea of the CherryPal, but it sounds very limited. I guess I won't know until I try using one exclusively for a few days, but I think what I'd save not buying a more traditional desktop computer, I'd easily spend on stuff like a USB hard drive, a DVD burner, a screen, and a keyboard and mouse. Plus a couple of cheap USB hubs, since this only has two USB ports, and no PS/2, so once you have a keyboard and mouse, you can't plug in your flash drive.
