I appear to unexpectedly be the owner of an Eee PC. I know very little about these things, but it seems to be a fairly high end recent model (EEEPC 1005HA), with an Atom 280 processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, multi-touch capability, and a bunch of other features. It apparently runs Windows XP, though I assume I could install Linux on it if I tried (though I'd need to figure out how to do that without an optical drive).
So, who out there has used these before? What sorts of things should I expect to work well, and what should I watch out for? Given that I'm reasonably comfortable with both Windows and Linux (despite being mostly a Mac person these days), is there any especially good reason to get rid of Windows? Either way, should I expect much trouble getting Firefox up and running?
It's very cute, regardless.
