PixelUSA, http://www.pixelusa.com/, carried them as of a month
ago. They are near Santana Row on Stevens Creek/San Carlos, north side
of the street.

Central Computer, (near San Tomas on Stevens Creek, north side of the
street,) http://www.centralcomputer.com/ retails them, too.

Both cater to Linux folks, (at least tolerate us.)

BTW, I played with an early EEPC for about 10 min. several months ago,
and it looked like the firewall was not running by default, and it had
a lot of port stuff running-I could be wrong, (I didn't really have
time to look at it,) but for a WIFI box'ette, that should be
verified-and we really need a lock down SOP/HOW TO.
