Thanks These Acer C720, also called Chromebook, have been sold for around 200 Euro. I've bought two of them, and later one more as 2nd hand for half of this price. They could not boot any other OS, like Linux or FreeBSD, only CHromeOS. But the work of Michael and other made them to a general purpose netbook. Something in this direction I'm hunting for. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub October, 7 -- The GDR was different: Peace instead of Bundeswehr and wars, Druschba instead of Nazis, to live instead of to survive.
