I use it on an ASUS EEE 701 PC! It works with some limitation, because this model have only 512mb of RAM. But it is working fine. The OS is Windows XP.

I think that the better netbooks is one from HP, this netbook have an normal keyboard.

Assunto: Re: [R] R on netbooks et al?

I've installed Ubuntu, Emacs, and R on my Samsung NC10 with 2 GB RAM.  I think 
the keyboard is very usable on the NC10, and it has about 5-7 hours of battery 
life, which is also nice.  R runs just fine on it.  I'd consider paying extra 
for the Samsung just for the keyboard.
