Fred,
This is a fine place to send questions.

In addition to what Karl wrote.

We have a wiki page regarding Eee PC running Linux.

http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/index.php/Misc:EeePC

Please feel free to update the wiki, if it needs it. (You'll need an  
account for 4 days before making changes.)

The Eee PC has Java pre-installed, so running BibleDesktop is trivial.  
Other than downloading it, you'll need to change the permissions on  
BibleDesktop.sh to be executable and make a shortcut for it.
