    Where in the world does Asus sell these newer model Linux Eee PCs?

    So I went to the Asus Eee PC website, and they have a model comparison page

    On that page, there are a ton of Linux models, but I can't actually find where they're sold:

    Eee PC S101H
    Eee PC S101
    Eee PC 1002HA
    Eee PC 1000HD
    Eee PC 1000H

    Have you seen these in brick-and-mortar stores in your country? If so, which country?

    Have you seen them online? If so, can you provide a link?

    Bet you could buy 'em off ebay...

    Canada Computers sells eee PC's here in Canada, and I'm sure larger stores like Future Shop and Best Buy would as well.

    Many shops stocked them at first, but then started stocking only Windows Netbooks once they came on the market.

    Having said that, plenty of shops around here still stock Linux netbooks.

    My dad has a 701 from this time last year, plenty past Windows netbooks hitting the market, though they were all a LOT more expensive than the 701 at the time. (e.g. £50 or more more expensive)

    Negatory, I thought you meant in general. Sorry.

    I do know that smaller computer stores (but big enough to have chains) do sell the Linux models on order.

    I had a Linux EEE that I purchased from Amazon. Restricting it to brick and mortar really limits you.

    The Best Buy here does. It can't hurt to ask.

    I tried mailing several distributors and they all say that Asus decided not to sell their Linux models on the Danish market.

    I suspect the best option is to ask Asus themselves, it to annoys me endlessly, especially since they will not provide a means to get a refund for the Windows license either (I asked a Linux friendly vendor here and they told me that Asus does not handle refunds for software at all).

    Meaning they can say that the Linux versions are out there, then refuse to give a refund since we had the option of buying with Linux, while not having that option on the market for general consumption. It's so cunning it's borderline brilliant.
    On strike during the Oneiric cycle due to ungratefulness of Ubuntu.

    I think in France you can find them mainly on line or in specific computer stores. If you click the link above the big orange box, you get to either the stores or their online sites.

    When I clicked on the link, all I got were the 901 Linux Eee PCs. We have those in the US as well.

    I'm trying to see where the newer models that supposedly have Linux on them are being sold.
