Great fun, small & cute. Think it runs Xandros. How do I get a shell prompt on it, also perl?

As regards the terminal: can you get a Run dialog by pressing Alt+F2? If so, try running 'konsole'.
Otherwise, you might be able to get a console started from Konqueror running in file manager mode. Something like Tools | Start Terminal.
Not sure about Perl. In gerenal ;-)
Cheers, Richard

Google for "EEE xterm" suggests Ctrl+Alt+T
also perl?
apt-get install perl
?

Cheers, that's what I wanted to know. Works fine. Now I know the thing I was looking for is an xterm...
also perl?
...and rather to my surprise 'which perl' and 'perl -version' turns up a bog-standard perl 5.8.8. I was expecting to find things like perl cut down because this is a simplified linux on a very small PC.
Anyone else in the group got an eeePC?

I have.
I didn't reply to your Qs as they seemed to have been adequately covered.
However, as well as the keystroke to conjure it, there is an icon somewhere in one of the panes which will bring-up a terminal, if that was what you meant by a 'shell'.
