I agree with the above comment. I bought a Linux 901 because I like the open-source ethos and because from all that I read I was assured that Linux had now arrived as a viable Windows alternative. I cannot get wi-fi to work and did not expect to be bogged down in incomprehensible Linux command line instructions in the first few hours of ownership. This is not what I had expected and I am sure that it will do much to ensure the survival of Windows and that Linux remains in the domain of those who are prepared to spend a lot of time tinkering in operating system.
I have just complained to Asus Technical Support that my new Xandros 901 has virtually no wureless range and drops out requiring manual reconnect, frequently.
A 900 I had the week before was superb in every respect. If I had known how poor the 901 was going to be I would have kept it.
