sorry for bad english.

have one try to run ReactOS on Asus EEE subnotebook. with 2-8gb flashdisk maybe the perfect hardware basis for reactos!

win xp support run out near future, vista to fat for umpc -> Reactos, the perfect choice

(or linux)

If one can install ROS from an USB cd/dvd drive, it would be possible to install ROS onto the Asus EEE PC. I have an Asus EEE PC and the manuel shows how to install WinXP onto it using a cd/dvd drive (one must buy or have WinXP on a cd/dvd to install it but the drivers for EEE PC comes on a disc that comes with the computer).

I am still having fun with the Asus EEE PC. Perhaps one day in the future, I will try installing ReactOS onto it.

There is another part of the forum that discusses the Asus EEE PC.

http://forum.eeeusers.com Here is a forum for users of the EEE PC. I asked if they could add an 'other' for those interested in ROS.

I hope they don't get the threat of a lawsuit from Microsoft over alleged patent infringments by Linux. 8)

Could one install ROS onto this USB drive and either use ROS from it or install from it? It would be neat to see the ROS logo on it.

Could it be used to either run or install ROS from it?

I don't understand how this card works... where is the USB connector?

Oh! At first sight, I though that it was a chip on the visa card...

It was an optical illusion. It only appeared to be part of the other.

This might be better than the other one.

It seems multi-purpose. 8)

You don't get a very good idea of it from that angle. Presumably that's a standard-thickness USB attachment. So, is the card as thick as the attachment?
If so, it seems impractically thick. If not, then the shape is a bit funny, and gives the impression of being a bit fragile.
Either way, I don't think USB memory devices were meant to come in credit card size.
But I guess it will work with ReactOS about as well as any other USB flash drive.

They added an 'other os' section at the EEE user forum.

OT; I think USB drives will (eventually) replace floppy disks. I think it is the future of portable storage.

Curiosity offtopic:
How much the Asus EEE in your country?

I think it here (Argentina) is expensive:
White Asus 4GB without camera, Celeron M, 512MB RAM, Screen 7''
U$S 500

The cost for the Asus EEE PC 701 was about $400 plus about $35 for shipping and handling. 8) I bought it at Buy.com with Googlecheckout.com (IIRC on the URL's). 8) It is white. It has a webcam.
