That is why I choose dual boot too. Some powerful applications does not support Ubuntu so I still need to use Windows at sometimes. For an example like for my final year project. The compiler works in Windows and not in Linux.

@ Robert, if that’s case then go get one for yourself. :D You might as well want to wait for the 9″ version. Total size is almost the same. But the price is around P32,000 though. You can read it here.

At any rate, good luck! :D

Thanks again for the reply. And yes, I admit, as someone who doesn’t maximize the capabilities of my computers, I do have a lot of word processors. By the way, I also have an Apple eMate, two of which are with my nieces, and another PowerBook 2400C, which I lent to my sister in law.

In any case, small keyboards are no problem. The 2400C—during its time—was the smallest Mac computer ever. There was an adjustment period of course but I had an easy time. And I suppose i’ll have an easy time with the Asus as well.

If only Apple would care to develop something like the EeePC. Hmp. The portability of the EeePC is something that really tempts me to buy one. I’ll let you know if I give in. :)

Thanks again.

Robert

Thanks Robert for the compliments. Regarding the Asus EeePC, I wonder do you really need one (with already the two computers in your arsenal :D). But if your intention is really portability, the Asus EeePC is a great laptop that’s already capable of the usual things you do with a computer (sans Photoshop of course, which will surely choke in the EeePC).

I have to warn you though, the keyboard in the Eee is kind of inconvenient. You can at any time plug a wireless USB keyboard though if you’re at home. Even the originally installed Xandros have drivers for USB keyboards, much more Ubuntu.

Hi Sir—

Thanks for replying to my comments at this other blog, which was especially made for Asus EeePC.

Anyway, I currently use a PowerBook G4 and an AlphaSmart Dana.

Do you think I would like an Asus EeePC, especially if I install enough plug-ins to make it look and work like a Mac?

From what I’ve seen and read, it appears that I may after all take to Ubuntu. I am seriously thinking of getting an Asus EeePC. A friend of mine got one and I was amazed at its sheer portability.

Your blog’s useful, by the way.

Hi Shailen, thanks for visiting my site. I just really can’t express myself clearly…or rather convincingly…at why I want to dual boot, that’s why I just provided those links.

I know a thing that’s cooler, that is to own your own domain name and start blogging from there. :D

I fervently welcome your creative incentive and motive to quote all these useful links in this blog article.

The ‘Why Dual Boot?’ part is very informative, and I hope everyone can make learn a lot from this wealth of knowledge.

I am glad that my article helped you in getting the dual boot settings right..

Keep up the good job Jorelle,
