Those things don't have a big HDD on them so it won't be hard to fill them up. You may want to get a external Laptop HDD and use that to add more space to your system.

I have a 4gb sd cadin it at and I have two 512mb thumb drives, and a 1gb thumb drive. In time I will pick up more sd cards and biger thumb drives. I mean, I could go off and hack it and toss a flash card inside of it and make a new SSDH but I would need to open it up... I really dont want to have a $3590 brick... Would you?

You won't need to open it up, they make laptop hard drives that only need 1 USB port and they have 100 GB of space, and are only a couple of inches big so its not that bad to throw in a bag with your EEE and have it handy.

It depends on the OS you want to use on it, I think GodFly already tried to install Gentoo on it with several problems.

I'm not such a Gentoo zealot that I'll replace a perfectly good and functional OS with Gentoo just because I believe it should be done smile
I'm prolly going to get one of the new ones with the 20 gig HD when they come out in the US in a couple of months - the default OS (not the windows XP one) will be more than functional enough - figure it + Sprint AirCard/Network thingy (assuming I can get it to work under linux) will be a wonderful little traveling companion for me all over the place.
Between my DS, my (soon) Eee PC, my iPod, and my Helio Ocean, ima be quite well covered. Gonna have to upgrade to Cargo Pants 2.0 biggrin

vendion It depends on the OS you want to use on it, I think GodFly already tried to install Gentoo on it with several problems. I have Gentoo installed on my Eee 1000 40G, no sweat. I haven't been too motivated to get wireless working, but I have the wired NIC working, and have used it for drawing since Christmas. However, one problem I have to figure out is why the GLX module crashes Xorg.

The Ubuntu kernel available at array.org make it easy to get everything working under Linux quickly -- highly recommended.

Yes, the eeeXubuntu works great, though you'll have to do quite a bit of tweaking to get the sound working if you've got the 900 model. For the first few months I just ignored the problem, saying "Who needs sound anyway?", but eventually decided to get my hands dirty on the terminal. Learning to get stuff working on Linux is frustrating as hell, but well worth it.
