Ubuntu 7.10 Gibbon swings on the Asus Eee
,----[ Quote ]
| The Gibbonfest continues. We've just had an Asus Eee in to look at - the £220
| laptop that everyone who's seen it is going to buy. It's one of the hottest
| things in the office this year: the combination of the insanely low price
| tag, the perfectly functional specification (512MB RAM, 4GB internal flash
| SSD, wi-fi, real keyboard, VGA display) and its extreme portability makes it
| an instant hit.

Build a Portable Security Tool with the ASUS Eee PC and Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| An easier distribution to put on an Eee PC is Ubuntu – especially if you
| don't have a USB CD drive. That's because you can easily make an installer
| USB stick for Ubuntu, and install the OS onto the Eee PC's hard drive from
| that. The wired adapter works straight away with the installer, making
| installation and adding packages simple, and the wireless adapter can easily
| be coaxed in to life using the Windows XP driver supplied by ASUS.

| The popular Eee is not without its critics. IT Wire reports that Asus Eee may
| have misrepresented the Linux loaded capabilities. According to IT Wire, some
| Linux advocates say the Eee uses Xandros a Debian-based distribution that
| charges a license fee and has an agreement with Microsoft similar to the one
| signed by Novell.

| Another neat feature is that the supplied media includes a tool to put a
| bootable rescue image onto a pen drive - this means that I can feel quite
| free to replace the Xandros install it comes with if I want to. Putting the
| image from my mandriva pen drive (or the image for the intel classmate) onto
| the EEE for example should be easy.
