I did some quick research and found this page: http://www.driversfree.org/en/drivers-catalog/drivers-for-notebooks/asus/ult... <http://www.driversfree.org/en/drivers-catalog/drivers-for-notebooks/asus/ultrabook-asus-eeebook-e402sa-download-drivers-for-windows-10-64-bit> which says, in part "Asus EeeBook E402SA is fully compatible with the operating system Linux.” So I took a chance and ordered one. I plan to install Ubuntu. Fingers crossed! Thanks for this tip! IB On 28-Nov-16, at 18:22, D.

I don't know any other notebook with this kind of resolution under about $500. + $249.00 today (list price is $399.00) + if you collect AirMiles, and you go through the AirMiles site, you can get about $25 worth of AirMiles back + 4G RAM (2G seems standard in netbooks so this is very good) - 14", so larger and heavier than I'd like. But you might like the size. - 32 eMMC "disk". Small, but enough for a full Linux distro. Normal for netbooks due to Microsoft's licensing model. - slow but useable: "Intel Celeron N3060 1.60 GHz with Intel Burst Technology up to 2.48 GHz" Might have problems with the Linux/Atom bug I keep pointing at. + free delivery (and return). MicrosoftStore's policies are pretty good + comes with 64-bit Windows 10 so it must have 64-bit UEFI firmware. Makes Linux installation a lot easier. I bet that this can run Linux well, but I haven't tried it. Nor have I googled to find other's experiences. --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk Irwin Barrer irwin@irwinb.com
