    "Does anyone know what version of Linux these things run? Can Ubuntu or similar be put on instead? My main interest in this is as a starting point for learning Linux, including terminal commands, etc.

    Thank you

    Hello and Welcome!

    Unless I'm mistaken, they can come pre-loaded with Xandros.

    EEE701 Xandros

    Thank you. Is it possible to take out Xandros and put in Ubunto or can you have the two of them side by side? I am also having major problems when I download a programme (eg firewall) because it refuses to open.

    Thanks

    Indeed you can - it is easier if you have a usb cdrom though...

    This is what I am currently running on mine - it does all work nicely

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
