That's the plot to the 2001 movie, Avalon. Every sci-fi/gaming/anime geek needs to go watch this now.

I'm happily running Fedora 10 on my Asus Eee PC 1000, the one with the solid state disks. I'm sure you could do the same thing yours. Everything works after installing the latest koji kernel for f10, and the akmod-rt2860 wireless driver. http://idolinux.blogspot.com/2009/02/fedora-10-on-eee-pc-1000.html

I fail to see how "Debian is dying" when Ubuntu is just a handful of patches, as compared to the thousands of developers and massive multi-architecture work behind Debian that Ubuntu stands on the shoulders of. Without Debian, Ubuntu is useless. Sarge is fantastic for my company workstations, and Sid shines on my personal systems. Am I missing something here?
