Using the Asus Eee PC

by Bill Lawrence

Asustek has introduced a single line of ultra-portable computers that could surpass all of Apple's Macintosh sales. Of that total, about 1.6 million units will be equipped not with Windows, but Xandros Linux. The Eee is designed to open up new market segments: In the U.S and other developed nations, it will be targeted largely at school students. Equipped with both "learning" programs as well as office and internet applications, the Eee will provide everything that students need regardless of their grade level. Because it is an ultra-light, highly mobile, yet fully capable computer, it will also appeal to business users and first-time computer buyers. This book will cover everything, from turning the machine on and connecting it to the internet, to how to upgrade, update, and generally get the most from these tiny computers.

Excellent book for starting out with the cute little EEE PC. It gives you a lot of guidance in maximizing space your EEE PC. Also gives suggestions in getting free anti-virus, and where to put certain softwares (in harddrive or portable drive).
He bases his book for a 700 series, but does mention a bit about 900 and 901. I have a 901.
