Just wondering.

Do any of you guys use bluetooth dongles with the Asus EEE running on Linux?

What kind of bluetooth dongle brands and models are supported?

Thanks!

I wanna ask EEE users.

If you all do heavy-typing like say for 1-2 hours, is it comfortable? I read one review, they say can get Carpal-Tunnel easily? lol

I've only tested it for awhile and the k/b seems nice to use. However, please do enlighten me on long-term usage.

I know the EEE is not meant to be used as a main laptop (it won't be my main one anyway), but this is just something that really matters to me.

Thank you.

Definitely, dude. biggrin.gif

I hope they don't run out of stock at MTCS Pavillion before I go there. No time to go there yet. sweat.gif

they should have them in stock... just got another unit on saturday and they had plenty left... just bear in mind that the most it can be is a notebook companion and nothing more, if you're cool with that, you'll be really happy with the eeepc...

maybe we should organize a small eeepc gathering hahahahahhaahaha...

actually, i don't do much with my main notebook anyway, which btw is like 3 times the weight of the EEE. sweat.gif
i just use it to surf, chat and type out some documents. so the EEE is perfect. biggrin.gif
i leave all the heavy stuff like graphics/web/media editing to my desktop.

hmm. kinda nice to have a gathering too. for kicks. laugh.gif

Apparently no news yet on it in Malaysia. Maybe demand too high for the black one. sad.gif
People from other countries already bought the black EEE and it looks really awesome. thumbup.gif

uh? ver 2.3.1 ?  Pidgin is very straight forward messenger app.

try follow wiki.eeeuser guide update to 2.3.1 see solve it not.

alternative way, u can get the aMSN which support webcam.

1)apt-get install amsn , press N. (copy down the packages name except amsn,) apt-get install xx1 xx2 xx3 (packages name from above but except amsn)
3)then, go amsn.com get the ver 0.97, use package install amsn.0.97.x.x command to install it.

* b4 step 1, u need get the yuren lazy 0.04 package to make changes on sources.list file, then apt-get update

Yeah, in the seller's latest thread he mentioned that the new units priced at RM1298 will have webcam. So maybe that is why the price increased from RM1100.
