I seem to recall there may be a video on YouTube about how to install eCS onto the EEE netbooks (or
whatever the correct term for these mini-laptops might be). Or maybe I'm thinking about a PDF guide
? Anyway, it was mentioned on the VOICE list a while back, and I could look it up for you. I'm
thinking that if that is really doable and worked out, it might run Xy on that computer better than
any Linux emulator. Or, there is always VirtualBox.
