I bought this instead of a dedicated ebook reader in April '09. It's a great little machine, though I did have some fan trouble; if you're having the same problem, check out my guide to replacing the fan in one of these, which may be of some use to you.

This machine runs Ubuntu's Netbook Remix, which is a drastic improvement over the Xandros based default (certainly in cosmetic terms, and the decent package management helps a lot, too). Performance isn't great with 9.10, though, so I'm contemplating a switch to Puppy.
