Re: [OT] Always Innovating TouchBook - A Linux based Netbook

...and they will probably find a way to bring it with Window$ XP
pr-installed...

Is there a way to get a Linux Netbook in Israel?

The only one I found is the old Asus eeePC 700 (the very firs model that
started it all) and get this - available in pink only!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?!

Luckily (?) it is ARM based. So they won't bring it with XP 
pre-installed, although some clever importer just might manage Windows 
Mobile.

if you want the asus eee, you can find at office depot, or contact ronlight
the importer of asus eee. Naturally you will pay much more. Cathy malmrose
might send you asus eee with linux. Maybe you will be lucky and she will buy
you waht you want and send you. http://haifux.org/lectures/202/. Contact me
in private if you want to go by this route.

Other options are, ebay or find a friend that comes to israel and will bring
you.
