If you're not going to pay for it, you might as well use Linux.

Ching, ching. That is what I did with my EeePC. For just surfing and webmail, there really isn't any difference. If I was going to do anything else, I would want X, but FireFox works just fine under Linux.
Hey, that's what I did as well. What Asus Eee PC do you have? I have a white 901 and it has been pretty fantastic. I use it for a little Google Docs, general web browsing, Skype, and listening to Podcasts. The default distro (Xandros) is pretty basic. I loathe the XP theme and that removable storage shows up as letters. D:, seriously? YUCK!!!

I'm thinking of trying the Ubuntu Netbook Remix instead. I'd like to install and boot from an SD card for testing, but not sure how well this will work. I have an 8GB class 6 SDHC card. I hope that will be speedy enough. Just waiting for Ubuntu 9.04 to be released so I can try the latest and greatest.

I have the low end Surf. It is running what it came with straight out of the box. It is great for travel, because it is so much lighter and smaller than an iBook or MacBook. The only thing that I find is not as user friendly is the way the WiFi connects. It works and all, but the AirPort interface is so much nicer. Still, for a fraction of the price of a MacBook, you have to give up something. If I had waited, I might have opted for a mini 9, but since this is just a traveling/ultra portable machine, it works fine for what it does. I had no desire whatsoever to have any version of Windows, even on a netbook.
