[Klug-general] MiniPC to compete with eeePC

[Andrew Miller (Spode)]

LOL.

I personally find the built in distro very good. I tweaked it a little 
to how I wanted it, and got VirtualBox running on it should I need 
Windows (which I never really do).

But the point you make is valid - plugging an external 
monitor/keyboard/mouse into it works really well, it's an incredibly 
capable PC considering its spec. I just wish they had used a Pentium M 
instead of a Celeron M and we might have seen better battery life.

I've just been commissioned to do a 6 page article on the EeePC for 
Custom PC, so if anyone has any feelings on specific "how-tos" that need 
to be in there, I'm open to suggestions. It'll be in print and online.
