the programs pop up a little slower than i am used to on gnome but i can say that consider the specs on a new asus it is really fast once it is going and it takes games and gimp and even movies from a extern dvd unit with same ease as any of the other pc i have. i have tweaked it a bit doing my stay in there by adding removing some programs and making lots of new background wall papers on the gimp but i timed it boot and it takes around 60 sec to boot and then you are at the login screen. i just been in the hospital for 8 days which is why i got my self a little notebook to use in there and it was working wonderful for me. i finds the webcam after you have played around in bios settings and enabled the webcam which is for some reason of by default from factory settings and the only thing i have a problem with is to figure out if or how it will use the sd card. which is installing a new kernel from and it is a matter of a little shellscript on two lines to take care of that. It works with a minmial amount of tweaking. I use crunch bang on a asus Eee PC 701 sd. On a side note though, eeebuntu will be changing their name to easy peasy after they were pressured to do so by ubuntu. everything worked out of the box which is all you could ever wish for.:D
ram is super cheap these days! she's had it for close to a year now and the new OS refresh was very exciting for her. I also installed eebuntu netbook remix on my daughter's eeepc 701 over christmas. No fuss, just a simple install easily configured. Works great now.įor me, this is definitely how you want to see Ubuntu on the Eee. Once that's installed, go into the Cheese preferences and set the camera to 320x240 resolution or it won't work. The only thing to remember is if you want to use the webcam you have to first enable it in the Eee's BIOS, then install Cheese from Synaptic. Cue thrilled daughter come Christmas morning! EeeBuntu was a dream to install to USB thanks to Intrepid, and a breeze to install to the Eee itself.
I tried Ubuntu-Eee but it just wouldn't work. We installed this on the Asus 701 we got for the kid's Christmas present. Had to hit the F2 key to change BIOS options, if I remember right, to get it to boot from the USB stick.įollowed the install instructions. Put the USB stick in my wife's EEE and booted it. Used "System > Administration > Create a USB startup disk" in 8.10 running on my laptop. Įeebuntu worked out of the box on my wife's EEE PC 701/4G.ĭownloaded Eeebuntu NBR ISO. A different Ubuntu remix like Eeebuntu perhaps.
