Eeebuntu: The perfect netbook OS
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently, I purchased a Linux-based EeePC. I bought it for easy “packing” so
| I could have the means to write in serious “go mode.” It worked well but
| there was something that bothered me a bit - the pre-installed OS. Now, don’t
| get me wrong, I think the flavor of Linux put on netbooks is serviceable…at
| best. But to be honest, I am surprised at the choice Asus made using Xandros.
| Why? Well, it is somewhat limiting and has next to zero on the “fun factor.”
|
| I realize that “limiting” was an issue Asus took seriously. They didn’t want
| the full-blown power of Linux invading their new-user-friendly netbooks. But
| that shouldn’t have meant the Linux distribution need suffer for it. But it
| did. And this is my call out to Asus to re-examine the version of Linux they
| have chosen for their netbooks before all of those claims by Microsoft-funded
| studies come true.

|
| Eeebuntu is the clear frontrunner for a netbook OS. So stop selling your
| product with lesser operating systems! You won’t have to worry about rolling
| in a wireless stack because it’s already there. You won’t have to worry that
| the interface isn’t user-friendly because it is. You’ll get better
| performance, a more reliable desktop, and much happier users.

| Recently I purchased an eeepc 1000H and was quite impressed with the new and
| different operating system. I hail from a windows only background and
| anything apart from the Microsoft offerings I have left well alone, until
| NOW. The eee came with something called xandros installed and although fairly
| basic it did give me a taste of linux and I wanted more.

_EeeBuntu made my wife happy_
,----[ Quote ]
| My wife bought an eeePc 701/4G earlier this year.
|
| I was checking all the Windows machines for MS and anti-virus updates.
| When I turned on her eeePC it gave a low disk warning. I tried cleaning
| everything off the computer that she didn't need; however, I couldn't
| get enough free disk space to update Windows. After I had plaid with it
| for an hour or so, my wife told me she didn't use it anymore because it
| was too slow. She told me I should install Linux on it </shock>.
|
| I installed the EeeBuntu remix on it. She has been using it for the past
| 2 days. It runs pretty well when the CPU isn't supporting an anti-virus
| program as well as the OS. It has all the applications she needs, and
| still has 1 GB of SSD left for more of them.
|
| It's the remix of Ubuntu 8.10.
|
| When she is happy, I am happy.
|
| Edit: I'm not complaining about Windows. It was just the wrong OS for my
| wife's needs.
