I damaged the display of my EeePC 900 and I'm now thinking to get it replaced (for around 135 euro) or to buy a new netbook. I don't even see the EeePC 1000 here in Germany in the market, only the 1000H which seems to have a 160 GB hard disk, and I would like to stay with SSD... Any alternative netbooks outside Asus which run FreeBSD? Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <guru@unixarea.de> - w http://www.unixarea.de/
