We will be using them as evidence capture devices primarily for work based learners, possibly for College based learners as well.  As you get three Eees for the equivalent of one Windows based product the choice was relatively easy!

I'm currently using Hardy Heron at home virtualised on a Windows PC, both desktop and server, with plans for three virtualised servers at work to replace Windows servers.

Hi Glenn

I installed Hardy on my 701 using a USB DVD drive, then tweaked it
using the install program mentioned towards the end of
http://wiki.eeeuser.com/installing_ubuntu_8.04 - it's written by Dale,
a member of York LUG and the chap behind http://efficientpc.co.uk.
That did the trick fine and I've been very pleased with the result.
There are a lot more tips & tricks here -
http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly - I
enabled processor scaling using the instructions and it has helped eke
out battery life.

Regards, Martin
