2008-06-09 - Ubuntu Eee goes gold!
,----[ Quote ]
| Third time's the charm! In December Ubuntu Eee started as a one man project,
| but the last months several people have joined in on the development. We're
| trying to achieve something which haven't been successful for any other Linux
| distribution yet: a OS targeting a single computer which includes the best
| applications available. This means people can buy this really cheap computer
| and easily get a great OS on it for free. Since Ubuntu is working towards
| being runnable on every computer in the world it's big and sometimes slow and
| the creators are afraid of taking risks with new technology. We do these
| three points better as Ubuntu Eee is just for the Asus Eee. Ubuntu Eee is
| smaller, faster and we're bringing people the cutting edge of technology
| (while being stable and free of course).

Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on the Eee PC
,----[ Quote ]
| First of all, I was amazed at how much stuff worked right away. I didn’t have
| to install the 915resolution package to get the screen resolution correct.
| The little up-and-down scroll on the trackpad worked. Desktop Effects were on
| and working without having to do anything (I promptly turned them off—I
| prefer metacity). Sound worked. The brightness hotkeys worked. I did notice
| that (considering I have 1 GB of RAM on my Eee) the live session took a
| really long time to load up… even though it was snappy once loaded up. That
| first part with the little dots after vmlinuz took at least two minutes.

Ubuntu 8.04 on an ASUS EEEPC 900
,----[ Quote ]
| I love working on my ASUS EEEPC 900 under Ubuntu 8.04, it is far more
| customisable and mature -, but I have not totally banished the
| factory-installed Xandros OS since I need it for internet access. GRUB allows
| for for dual booting and should be best installed last.

| This morning I installed eeeXubuntu on the solid state disk of the little
| Eee. It's pretty cool. The default Xandros in advanced mode was okay, but it
| was also a bit limiting. Honestly, I've not had the greatest experiences with
| Xandros, and was a little nervous about enabling repositories that weren't
| necessarily for Xandros... or at least the watered-down version of Xandros
| the Eee runs.

eeeXubuntu booting great from SDHC on Asus eeePC
,----[ Quote ]
| I blew away XP on my eeePC and restored the original Xandros - great little
| OS in Easy Mode with iceWM. I also enabled advanced mode (a full KDE desktop)
| using pimpmyeee.sh (Google it - its a no-brainer quick way to enabled KDE).
| You can switch back and forth nice and easily.

Continued Impressions of Ubuntu 7.10 on the EeePC
,----[ Quote ]
| Someone asked me today how Ubuntu was working on the EeePC. It’s working
| great! I thought I might share some of my experiences so far, after a bit
| more use. If you are interested in installing Ubuntu 7.10 on your EeePC head
| on over to the Ubuntu Community Wiki and find out how!

The Evolution of an Ubuntu EeePC
,----[ Quote ]
| Enter Ubuntu on the EeePC. Not only did it install quickly and easily on the
| miniature hardware, but it seems to be the first Linux distro that actually
| works on par with a modern OS like OSX. Once the core OS was installed, all
| it took was the help of the “ubuntu-eee” script which tweaked the UI,
| installed updated wifi drivers, and performed a number of optimizations.
| After a quick reboot, everything was up and running smoothly.

Review: Ubuntu on the Eee PC
,----[ Quote ]
| If what we're hearing in the trade sites is correct, the brand new
| ultra-mobile Eee PC 901 will be released in the next few days. However, the
| price point is supposed to be close to the $650 mark, which is a far cry from
| the sub-$400 sweet spot of the 701. Still, I'm eying that one carefully for
| my road kit, given how well my own 701 has performed. This is a little
| follow-up to my original mini-review.
