The screen is very small, but with a 1024x600 resolution. For the 
keyboard, it depends on finger size :-). Sure these two things are not 
ideal for hours-long programming, but anyway you can plug in any big 
screen, read keyboard and a mouse.
RAM: 1 GB
Disk: 160 GB !
CPU: 1.6 GHz
I built a large project which is pretty compiler-challenging and it 
seems not a lot slower than on "serious" office hardware...

I think I guess.
I am just too lazy to install the very best one :-). A working one is 
already fine. Maybe it will change (the tamagochi syndrom :-) ).
