UNC Linux Users Group

I'm a big OpenBSD fan and I know that it worked on the earlier EeePCs.  But
if you're committed to Linux you might not like it: secure and the man
pages are an education in themselves and are the only truly complete set
I've seen on any *NIX (the major BSDs and Linuxes); easy to set up, but
only after you've screwed up several times; user community not as mean as
their rep though they are mean, but they're extremely knowledgeable; but
some important apps (e.g., Flash, which is one of those sad, sad facts of
life, like having to help the fam with Windows)--some important apps aren't
available.

As for Linux, my favorite is Arch.

May I ask how's the keyboard?  Thanks!
