I wrote about the availability of Asus new ultra-thin and ultra-cheap netbooks, the Asus X101 and the X101H a week ago. Both are 10-inch Atom powered netbooks, with the X101 having a 16GB SSD and a slimmer 0.69-inch thick case, while the X101H has a 250GB hard drive with and a chunkier 0.89-inch case.
I was looking for a X101, to use as a Linux box. Take it out of the box, wipe Meego from the drive and install Ubuntu... well that was the plan.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find one. While the X101H is available pretty much everywhere, I I could find the X101. A retailer told me that their orders for the X101 have not come in yet and they are not expecting it soon because of a driver issues with the SSD drive.
So, for those who want an X101, we have to wait a bit more.
Exactly my plan as well, except I will likely choose Xubuntu for its lighter XFCE desktop.

Italian, but pretty much speaks for itself.
Hi bro. Is it possible to reformat this and install Windows 7 instead? If not, could you still install Windows programs on the Meego OS?
