EEE!

Someone in my building has an unsecured wireless connection. :) Posting this from my EEE in my kitchen. Still getting used to the small keyboard, and I don't like the "tap to click" touchpad, so I'm getting used to the thumb trackball I got. I think my main keyboard problems are the spacebar (shallow enough I don't always hit it) and backspace (I overshoot it and hit delete).

The button on the front is actually two buttons; left/right click. If you press in the middle then it won't do much :-)

The EEE comes with openssh built in. Just open a terminal (IIRC, alt-control-T is a short cut to open a uxterm) and then "ssh user@remotehost". It's a real Linux system, and the default user is configured with sudo "ALL" privileges, so you can vi system files to reconfigure things as much as you like.

Yeah, I think I was pressing the middle. And jarodrussell helped me find the terminal (alt-ctrl-T is it), and I poked around a bit.
