What kinds of netbooks do Arch users have? Got myself an MSI Wind (Atom, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD) running Arch from second 1 I got it. Everything works great/flawlessly: wireless, wired, camera, mic, audio, USB, SD, ... Fn keys also work great (no need to tweak anything). No need to add repos or anything special to get the hardware up and running, haven't compiled anything, plain old: pacman -S <whatever> Best thing is that it _DOESN'T_ heat up AT ALL (sorry for shouting 0:) I also tried out an Acer ONE with Arch and it heated up so bad you couldn't have it on your lap for more than a couple of minutes >:| BTW: running KDE 4.3 :) Just MHO ;) Rafa -- "We cannot treat computers as Humans.
