Review: EeePC 900 with Ubuntu 8.4
,----[ Quote ]
| The office bought ASUS EeePC 900s for Marc Hugentobler, John Krutsch, and me,
| and this tidy little tool deserves a review. My review will be a little
| different from the one John Krutsch is planning, as I almost immediately set
| about wiping the Xandros Linux install and setting up Ubuntu Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| The most prominent application for learning with EeePCs comes from their low
| pricetag. At ~$400 USD I could imagine these being standard equipment for jr.
| high or high school students. If my son’s school had an established plan for
| integrating use of notebook computers into the daily curriculum, I would have
| no problem shelling out the money for one of these. Presuming that these
| could be used for at least 2 years, probably 3-4 if any memory expansions
| become available, the bang-for-the-buck potential is high.

Eee PC Update- 904/905 to replace 901? Debian to replace Xandros?
,----[ Quote ]
| In another interesting turn of events, Linux Loop is reporting that Asus and
| Debian are working together on a project. There is nothing firm yet but a
| post on the Debian mailing list suggests that the two organizations are
| working together. There is already a DebianEeePC project, so it could just
| be building this out, not outright replacing Xandros, but anything could
| happen at this point. Ubuntu is based on Debian so this could open up a
| number of doors in the future, though it would definitely be a mistake to
| read too far into news like this given how early the talks seem to be.

Debian To Replace Xandros on the Eee PC?
,----[ Quote ]
| This message on the Debian Eee PC mailing list reveals that Asus and Debian
| are working together, or at least planning to, on software for the Eee PC.
| This, presumably, means that future versions of the Eee PC could run a
| modified version of Debian, rather than a modified version of Xandros, as
| they currently do.
