At times I have used a full sized external usb keyboard, but eventually I just got used to this one, it took some patience though. If you do get an eeepc, I recommend the debian eee extensions (and of course the multimedia repositories), their installer was a cinch and everything worked perfect, except for the X11 screen resolution that installed as 800x400 rather than the maximum 800x600 for my model, I will be trying to fix the resolution when I have some free time this weekend. Previously I was using ubuntu hardy (which the previous owner had installed), but the webcam was not working, nor suspend or the external monitor link, and the same default X11 resolution issues were there as well. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
