"Limited by Linux"? So much for unbiased reporting, huh?
I'm running Xandros 4 and don't feel limited.
The only thing it won't do is play certain games designed specifically
for Windows. A lot of pre-Vista Win software runs just fine under X4
with Crossover.

The Asus Eee may have a limited RAM hard drive, but that's fixable.
