If you’ve been tempted by the thought of an Eee PC, here’s a good local deal: Catch Of The Day is selling off the original 7.9in Xandros Linux model for $327 plus shipping. To our way of thinking, even at $499, the Eee is a killer buy; with this kind of saving, you’d want to get in quick.

I’ve been waiting to get a laptop, and always been quite intrigued by the eeePC.
I have a COD tab always open in FF, but hadn’t checked it until I’d seen this post. Cheers for that!
I’m planning on installing Ubuntu 7.10 onto it (once I’ve had a looky at the Xandros installation first, of course).
Should be lots of fun! Thanks for the post ;)

Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 3:54 PMHey guys,
Via my friend Nay:
“shopbot is reporting cheapest available at $366 – so we can still buy it without spending a hell of a lot more, but without the tight deadline.”
I hope that helps someone. :)

CoD starts at 12 noon for 24 hours for the unitiated but the really good bargains go quickly.
