sure, eeepc 1215B, with 320 GB of hard disk...

another interesting thing, as I was attempting to load kubuntu just
few minutes back alongside debianKDE  that I installed last evening
(which did not come to my expectations because lot of things are
intelligible by my standard about how to configure X again etc.)

the kubuntu suddenly declared that the remaining 200Gb (left out after
debian install) is unusuable...
and it does not want to play along debian...

**how nice of all these distros, that they don't recognize each others
efforts...**

in this regard, in old times mandriva was very good in recognizing
such things is what i remember from my similar experiments 3-4 years
back...
