The 901 seems to be better than the old EEEs, bt what about the competition from MSI? Thanks a lot!

Another question though: Which notebook is sturdier, has a better casing build quality, the MSI Wind or the EEE 901? The 901 seems to be better than the old EEEs, bt what about the competition from MSI? Thanks a lot!

While it's certainly possible to create an OS that boots that quickly, Ubuntu Netbook Remix isn't being built from the ground up. It's based on existing code, and while Ubuntu can boot pretty quickly on a reasonably fast machine, even with CPU-specific optimizations, I would have been quite surprised to see a 5-10 second boot time. Personally, I'd be pretty happy with 30 seconds. I have to say, I was pretty skeptical when I first read that number.
