Where to find an Asus Eee PC 901 Linux

EDIT: The eee pc that RetailBlue are selling that I mentioned below, is the 900!!! And it is out of stock. Don't buy it if you are looking for the 901. For some reason their sale of the 900 made it into the 901 search. Now, it looks like there are no eee pc 901's with linux available. The wait shall have to continue to the end of the month, I think that is the rumour.

So I've been on the lookout for the Asus Eee PC 901 (Linux). All the retailers I've spoken to can't/won't get the linux version but have the Windows version. I did a quick search and found that the cheapest I can buy the Eee PC 901 is $526.70 (without postage) as listed here by one of my favourite websites, shopbot.com.au at retailblue.com.

Asus Eee PC 1000 is on the loose in Australia

Ok, so the Asus eee pc 1000 is on the loose in Australia. Evidence: http://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers/

I don't think there's much stock left, but it's not confirmed yet if it's the windows version (1000H) or the linux version (1000) yet. I'm heading over to a store at lunch time to check it out.

JB's price is $698 (although I heard it rumoured for $649 at JB).

Check out the specs for the 901, 1000 and 1000H over here at Engadget
