Virtualbox  installed like a dream on my linux eeepc.  I had problems with  opensolaris’s pkg command getting into a swapping frenzy due to only 512Mb memory  during a image-upgrade.. so down pcworld for a 2gb SODIMM for 30 pounds took 5 minutes to fit once I found an anti static wrist strap.

Now virtualbox can have 1gb and linux 1gb - all seems to work fine I now have a snv_101 image running after downloading the dvd image. I now have two widgets telling me the battery level ! networking just worked… once I installed the virtualbox client addons the windowing system even adjusted to the slightly odd eeepc resolution of 1024×600..

We have one of these little beast in the house now - just brilliant, the desktop works - lots of tools, openoffice, wifi , sound etc I’m going to buy one of the new 900 ones with the larger screen should I have some spare notes at some point, but the the small 7 inch screen on the 4g is just fine - youtube looks great and sounds good.. unlike my dell pocket pc I suspect it will cope with my inbox without crashing..
