I had done just that – but interestingly it’s switched back to US Keyboard when I enabled the advanced desktop – which is fine, I just need to use the character map for the £ symbol. I need to make tabs work correctly in Firefox again in advanced desktop as well (read a tutorial about that yesterday).

to fix that keyboard thing head over to control panel and keyboard settings and just fix the settings

Weirdly, mine, running XP has the ” and @ the wrong way round – they’re correct on the keyboard, its obviously a windows thing.

I’ve got used to it now, find myself pressing them the wrong way round on my big Dell!!

No suggestions for cases – let me know what you find.

Liking the linux at the moment, it’s charging at the mo – but I’m still using it, couldn’t resist!!!

Need to work out how to change the keyboard after the original setup, I set it to UK but the info on the keys appears to be US (my ” and my @ are the wrong way around!!).

1GB RAM, I’ll probably leave it at that for the minute…. Might need to invest in a USB DVD for watching films on hols!! Also a better case… Any suggestions? Pleasantly surprised to get a 5800 battery after everything I’ve read!!

Having built in webcam is good, but can’t use on MSN because it uses Pidgin for that in linux mode and doesn’t support webcam – have tried it over Skype though!

haha, now you know what I meant!

Leaving it with Linux or installing Windows? How much RAM? Ordering any extra?

There’s no way you could swap mine for yours, I’ve only just unwrapped it and I’m not letting it out of my sight for the forseeable future!!!

Looks good, this market is going to get so tight in coming months!!

Good news Keiron!
I was considering swapping mine for yours, just due to the slightly larger screen…. but I’ve just spotted this on the horizon….
