Hi Greg,
It's nice to have someone substantially younger than me on the list!
Just a quick note about the mailing list so that you don't get flamed for it
in the future: It's generally considered better to reply to each person in a
separate email, with particular text you're responding to quoted at the top.
This just makes it easier to work out where the conversation's going (and
come from), especially when not all the members' short term memories are as
fresh as ours *ducks* ;-)

Hope you're enjoying your Linux experience so far. I've got myself an eeepc
900 recently. I certainly wouldn't describe the screen as "uselessly small",
although I have had the owner of a 701 tell me he finds the screen too small,
so maybe the extra couple of inches makes all the difference.
