Ordered it yesterday from buy.com, got it today. I think they must have a DC somewhere in DFW because most of my free shipping stuff from Buy gets here the next day.
Unboxed the eee. Looks new, other than the box being opened.
Plugged it in, booted up to WinXP. Took about 15mins from boot to get connected to wireless surfing the net. Most of the delay was "found new hardware" and "what's your name, do you want to register" crapola. Looks fine to me.
Verified it worked fine, then rebooted with puppeee on a sdcard. Booted to linux and was online in about 4mins from boot. Puppeee linux is shocking fast, mainly because it is a tiny OS (about 150mb) and stays completely resident in RAM.
