Hi just bought a Eeepc 900 from Morrisons for £199, I like it but am amazed to find no firewall installed,and as yet cannot find a way to install one. Still using the original linux OS. has any of you Eeepc owners managed to get a firewall installed?
A quick google suggests that the kernel on the xandros install of an EeePC doesn't contain iptables support - so installing a firewall is also going involve getting a real kernel etc...
second question, Is it possible to fit an ide hard drive from a laptop into a desktop pc as a second drive,
Assuming a 2.5" laptop HDD, then yes, with an adaptor. http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=402W&CategorySelectedId=1...
You can get the cable on it's own from places like maplin: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=28724
Hope that helps,
