Hi Chris,

I heard back from one of our major suppliers (Ingram Micro) and they
have said that they won't be receiving the first batch of eeePC 1000's
with Linux on them until end of next month.

Apologies, you'd think somebody would care about us open-source geeks :)

Do you want me to keep you posted when they come in? Or will you order
it from the states?
