Shut down takes 5-seconds ( view large image) In other words, all the basic functions you perform on a PC you can do on the Eee PC. You can browse the web using FireFox, use Skype with the built-in web cam and microphone, open Word and Excel docs and edit them, view photos, listen to music files, use AOL IM, MSN messenger or just about any other major chat client via Kopete. There’s a ton of software features on board that will most definitely serve all of your basic needs. Just because the OS is light doesn’t mean it doesn’t do much. Combine a small Linux footprint OS with a flash based hard drive and what results is this speedy startup that the device has. The Asus Eee uses a Linux based OS that Asus has customized themselves.

The startup time for the Eee is about 10 seconds, and that’s when it’s being slow. The Asus Eee before it’s turned on ( view large image)
