Pretty easy. My g/f has an EeePC 901 running Ubuntu just fine. In the
end it's just another PC. Nothing (much) out of the ordinary.
Since it's running from SSD, there's nothing to worry about saving
memory by having the disk spin down (haha).
E-Ink would be awesome. And maybe a less sucky CPU/chipset combination.
