Hi,

I got a Proteus a couple of years ago, a small form-factor machine they don't seem to sell anymore.

   Hi,

   I have. It's pretty good. Just a couple of issues. It didn't say on the
   site that it there was no optical drive. I don't really need one but
I realised that, as you sya though it's less important nowadays with
USB sticks and such.


   though small it is a laptop, not netbook. I opted for one with no
   pre-installed OS but found that default Debian wouldn't install and I
   had to find the 'non-free drivers' image. I'm using Arch now and that
   installed without problems but I did think it a little odd that a
   Linux-oriented machine would require non-free. Probably the Nvidia
   graphics.

   I did like the being able to pick and choose options, picked twin
   drives, SSD for root and swap, larger normal one for /home.

Thanks for the feedback, very useful.  Which one did you get?  I'll go
for the 14" Orion if I get one.
