Hi all,

   I want to buy a UML and, I'm currently pending my decision on Acer 
AspireOne and Asus EeePc 901. Here are the pros and cons on each one.

   Acer AspireOne Pros:
   - I already installed openSUSE 11.0 on this machine. Works 100% all 
devices.
   - Keyboard a little bit larger. May prove better for continuous typing.
   - Price.

   Acer AspireOne Cons:
   - No Bluetooth.
   - 8GB storage is way slow. 3-4 MB/s write speed.
   - Wireless is not '802.11g'.
   - "Only" up to 3 hours of battery life.
   - Access to hardware cannot be made without voiding warranty.

   Asus EeePc 901 pros:
   - Up to 8 hours battery life.
   - Bluetooth.
   - 4GB internal storage is fast ( don't know exactly how much ) witch 
can hold root file system. 16GB extra storage is also slow.
   - Access to hardware can be made without voiding warranty.
   - Wireless '802.11g'
   - 20GB total storage

   Asus EeePc 901 cons:
   - Extra cost of €60,00
   - Smaller keyboard.
   - Do not know if anyone successfully installed openSUSE 11.0 ( or 
other openSUSE ) on one of these...
  

Bottom line: I'm inclined to go for the Asus despite of it's €60,00 
increased cost but, I would like to know if anyone has installed it on 
openSUSE. Has anyone on this list has any experience on this ?
If anyone has any option that may contradict any my claim please, do 
state your option.

Thanks,
Rui Santos
