I know Linus for a while did have a Sony Vaio C1 picture book. After all it
does have crusoe processor in it! I have a picture book as well, I would not
get another vaio though, driver support sucks, after warranty ends they want
money even to take your phone call. They Lost my registration details so reduced
the time on my warranty forward dated the time to when it was built! It has 
a problem with its charging circuit so it thinks its on mains all the
time. Even when not plug in! This results in the battery discharging after a 
day on non use. Sony support sucks if I never buy another sony product it
will be too soon. Shame really there stuff all LOOKs great!
