Of course! Linux suits machines with such "limited" resources very
much. (I quote that word, because the EEE PC has more RAM and disk
space than the dual Celeron 300A desktop that I built 10 years ago.)

Good. Let these people learn how troublesome it is to install Windows
themselves, let alone having to trim it down to suit the EEE PC's
limited resources. Most of them have been feeding on pre-installed
OS. Now, they have to do it themselves.

Based on help sites that have FAQs and HOWTOs on installing Linux on
Windows-preinstalled Dell/Lenovo/... servers/desktops/laptops, would
you suspect that a lot of people are dumping Windows for Linux?
