EEE PC

| 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.

Asus Eee Skype Video Calling - with special guest!

,----[ Quote ]
| Friend and fellow mobile technology blogger Kevin Tofel of JKOnTheRun agreed 
| to help me demo a Skype call on the Asus Eee 701 PC. We each have one, 
| installed the beta, ran the webcam power trick (as Ars Technica explained it) 
| and called each other.

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 Asus Eee Laptop Series Selling Off the Shelves World Wide

| The sturdy and light weight Asus Eee has captured the hearts and minds of US 
| consumers, students and educators. The Eee series has all the features of its 
| competitors, but its affordable price is turning heads. The Eee units are 
| literally selling off the shelves world-wide.

| 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.
