Go to their _slow_ customer unfriendly website and try to find an _email-address_ where you can ask for a dealer which offers an Eee PC 901Go with a Belgian azerty keyboard and Linux pre-installed. Note that the Eee PC 901Go is still not on their website (I'm wrting this december the 2nd of 2008) There is a dealer for ASUS Eee-PCs in Belgium called "laptopshop.be" I asked them for an Eee-PC 901 -not a Go which wasn't available then- with Linux pre-installed, they answered they didn't sell that model and that was it, end of the line. I then tried out "http://www.linux-onlineshop.de", they do have a nice hardware section which offers the Eee-PC 901Go, you can even ask for 2Gbyte ram and for a 16Gbyte SDHC-card, all done quite nicely, unfortunately they don't sell it with a Belgian azerty-keyboard (which I can understand, it's a German shop) There is also a company which sells Eee-PC in the French-speaking part of Belgium http://www.ldlc.be/, when asking them whether they offer it with a Belgian azerty keyboard, they answer it is a _French_ azerty keyboard (which is too different for me), once again: end of the line. What is it with Asus?, they have a bestseller (the Eee-pc 901(Go)), the format is ideal, not too large, not too heavy, great battery life, SSD-technology ...nice price, but they just don't seem to know how or want to sell it. Yes, ASUS-people might complain about recession and sales which don't climb as expected but maybe they should first learn "HOW TO SELL A PRODUCT" Does ASUS actually want to _sell_ these Eee-pcs in Europe?
