NSLU2s are great, aren't they? It's amazing that anyone would
want a power-hungry beige box as a SOHO file server when such
a quiet and low-powered box is available. What do you use
yours for?

What's XFCe like at 800 x 480? I'm trying to find
time to refurbish an old ThinkPad with a VGA screen,
& I'd thought something like wm2, pwm or ratpoison
would make better use ofthe limited space. 

Asus's own GUIs for the EEE seem fairly well-designed,
it's just a shame it's all packaged up with so much
proprietary software :-(

Welcome to the LUG :)
I'm based just outside Derbyshire, in the Congleton area.
