No. Never used a network apart from connecting to wifi.
And it's the wifi connecting that most mac users ooooh and aaaah over at me. Until it doesn't work.
Huh! Nev! Are you paying attention?
I go into the Fat Cat and get their key. I fire-up the Eee and it 'finds wap'. I connect to it and feed it the key. It just sits there pondering. It *SAYS* it's connecting, but it never does. That's Xandross
It works on my brother's wireless, and on my bro'-in-law's.
Using the flaptop (Debian), it just connects, even in the Fat Cat.
Haven't tried it using windows - I tend only to use that for Irfanview.
Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Irfanview but I fail to see what features you miss from it when running Linux. Also it's fugly.. The icons look like they were made in the 90s. :/
The only killer thing I can think it does is the batch file conversion and rename stuff but there are extremely powerful command line linux tools out there to do the same jobs.
As a last resort, there's always Wine?? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7834 Keeping a whole Windows partition there just to use one imaging application seems like massive overkill to me.
