EPC MiniBook / X Burst 400MHz / 128MB / 2GB / 7 inch / Linux / Netbook / Laptop

The EPC Minibook is ok for just surfing but so far I have not been able to download even a simple card game onto it. Finding downloads is nigh on impossible and I would have to say that this item is best left to the Linux experts if you want to download applications etc onto it because I have just spent hours trying to and cant get anything. Also, the instructions are very basic and dont even tell you what type of Linux OS it is so when trying to download something you dont know which file to select.

If your not that good with computers I'd give this one a miss, spend a bit more money on something with XP so that you can use it for more than surfing. If all you want to do is surf then remember that this minibook doesn't play flash items unless you download the plug-in - which then doesn't seem to work?????

Sorry to all Linux supporters - the reason I bought this was because I wanted to try out Linux - and I must say it is too technically demanding for me to make this usable for all my surfing and downloading - until Linux is truly easy to use and downloads are easily accessible then I wont be buying another Linux based product.
