I also have an Asus EEE PC, earlier model: 701.
(Sky Blue) - 2GB Surf. Got it for $299

Additional Accessories I use:
Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive (the cheapest USB DVD player)
I bought it for $30.

Microsoft Keyboard - USB for Amiga gaming. (Asus keys are too small)

SD Cards to swap out game and workbench adfs.

I have XP running on this, I just hate the Linux distro that came with this. I cannot install Amiga Forever 2006, (space limitations) in Windows XP but managed to get WINUAE running instead, works fine and runs at full speed.

Been playing Agony on it and the sound rocks.
 :-)

I will try superfrog on this.

Deluxepaint works fine too.
Demos work too.
WinUAE enthusiast.

Curious about: Amiga OS, Morph OS, X-Amiga, Amikit, Amiga Forever, WinUAE, Efika, Minimig,
and other forms Amiga-like Computers.

I never figured out to run UAE from linux. I know a bit of Linux commands, but I haven't managed to install UAE packages especially in Xandros.

My Asus eee pc 701 gives me 314MB space after a factory install. Windows XP SP1 generally gives you 851MB back.

I think thats why Amiga Forever didn't want to install, it needs at least 630MB plus additional 200MB for the setup file to sit there during install.

WINUAE or UAE just eats about less than 10MB along with kickstarts and workbench.

Now if I could only have WB 3.1 read my Xbox 360 HDDVD as a CDrom, that would be great.
