I am looking to purchase a new, portable computer to replace my 6-year-old laptop - ideally something about netbook sized, under $500, and which would work well with a Linux disto as the only OS. While perusing newegg for ideas, I ran across one of the "netvertable" systems - Asus Eee PC T101MT (link below signature). I had considered the Eee Pad Transformer, but decided against it due to the difficulty in replacing the Android OS with a full Linux distro, so a netbook/tablet convertible seems a good compromise, particularly as I've heard good things about Ubuntu's touch-screen support lately (particularly as of v. 11, though I can't say I've looked into it much myself as of yet).<br>

> <br>> In addition to the computer itself, I would like to look into upgrading the RAM to 2GB (comes with 1GB) - I've done this on my desktop already, but, having also tried to perform repairs on my old laptop, I'm not quite so confident in my skills there. Would the memory I have linked below work with the Eee PC T101MT?<br>
