Eee Pc - thinking about asus' eeepc?

saitunes
It's all down to what you want a laptop for.

They're designed to be ultra portable for students, Developing countries (as already mentioned) and for business types. Its not designed for anyone really computer savvy (in my opinion) Just for someone who wants to type and surf. The PC for grandma if you like.

if you want something with a bigger hard drive or more oomph, get a 'real' laptop. the kind you pay serious money for.

N.B When I said 'Real' I didn't mean to offend, I simply meant a 'serious' laptop. with dual core, etc etc.

I would like to get a copy of the linux that comes with it working.... I've downloaded an iso and it doesn't work with Q kju.... no luck so far,

It's completely OK for you to want to try out the distro (Xandros) that comes with the eeePC, but I wouldn't recommend it. It has proprietary parts and it isn't that much stable as other distros. If you are planning to buy an eeePC than I would recommend you to install eeeXubuntu 7.10 on it, as I heard it's pretty much stable and you can even run compiz on it! One small note: the def. Xubuntu theme for GDM causes X.org to crash - you should change your default GDM theme to something other than the default to prevent that.

Please don't get the Win Xp version, don't let the part of the money go to Microsoft and their evil monopoly in lots of parts of the world (maybe not in the US, but here in Europe, and in my country Microsoft makes people stupid, and makes them think dumb things and avoid every single product that does not come from them sad.gif )

I'm a sucker for Microsoft Office XP, praise Windows XP Professional SP2 over most operating systems for compatibility and usage reasons, and don't have too much complaint over any bugs or hassles that I have to deal with. Then again, Microsoft didn't get a dime from me... rolleyes.gif

Wouldn't it just be a cheaper deal just to go out and buy an eeePC in a Linux flavor and then opt to install Windows using an existing license "from a computer that you won't be using Windows on anymore?" wink.gif
