Hi.
O.k. this question seems to be a little offtopic, but ... ;)
Did anyone try to run OpenBSD on Asus new small eeePC?

Output of /proc/cpuinfo (1) and lspci (2) can be found here:
(1) http://scr3.golem.de/?d=0711/Eee-Test&a=55901&s=9

(2) http://scr3.golem.de/?d=0711/Eee-Test&a=55901&s=10
4 GB Flashdrive and 512MB+ RAM is enough and the CPU is a

simple Celeron ... O.K. the Atheros (LAN and WLAN) adapters

may be the problem ...
So did anyone tried to install OpenBSD on it ?

Will it work (of couse! ;) ) but has anyone experience

about the nonworking devices ? (esp. the mentioned LAN/WLAN

adapters)
Andreas.

Will do.
Any other requests?

Use -current, it has some critical fixes for this chip, thanks to reyk.

nice to see you have one.  can you boot -current and mail the dmesg to

dmesg@openbsd.org?
Does anybody know where I could buy such a machine, preferrably in

.ch or .de?
[...]

Hi,
www.computeruniverse.de plans to sell the Eee PC. But I don't know any

dates.
Frank.

What can you use used tampons for?  Tea bags for vampires.

openBSD - Can't fight the Systemagic. \ber tragic.

Politicians do it to everyone.

If anyone in western Canada are interested, atechelectronics in

Edmonton is advertising this machine for $400cdn.

I know too much and yet not enough

I just bought one to play and hack around with, I'll let ya'll know

how the experiment goes when it comes in!

Hi Marc.
I found only 4 online shops in germany which sells the eee:
http://www.arlt.com/index.php?cl=details&anid=3002853

http://www.campuspoint.de/shop/notebooks/notebooks-nach-hersteller/basus...

http://www.notebook.de/index.php?section=shop&group=734&productid=9474

http://www.t-online-shop.de/tonline/product.do?action=getProductDetail&p...
Unfortunately you have to wait several weeks :/
If someone on the list knows where to get a eeePC in .de without

waiting several weeks ... contact me offlist ;)
So long,
Andreas.

I have also been looking for one in Europe.

I found one place in Sweden that got them:

I couldn't find any .de or .ch ones though.

Also shortly available in the UK as a re-badged RM machine:

Looks neat, a bigger (memory, flash memory) device running OpenBSD

would be attractive.
