is it nice?

server or desktop version?

Yeah, it's lovely. Desktop version san

that what makes ubuntu so popular to base on

All installed. Actually it was installed about an hour ago but I forgot to update.

Just building and installing Perl 5.10.0 now.

I installed FC9 a week ago, it has 5.10 already. Didn't you install FC9 as well?

I know FC9 has 5.10 - see use.perl.org/articles/08...

But no, I prefer Ubuntu.

saw one of those (the eeePC, I mean) a while back - how is it to use?

Very sweet. You'll need good eyesight and pointy fingers - and you look like a giant when you're using it - but lovely.

The Xandros distro it ships with is designed not to freak out Windows users - if you like Linux you'll want to install something else on it.

But that's easy enough.
