I’ve forgone installing Windows for now, but I have finally decided to ditch Xandros, at least for the meantime. Sure, I’ve been pretty much a Xandros buff since I got my Eee last December. I thought it was the best for the Eee, since the pre-installed build was developed–or at least tweaked by Asus–specifically for […]
A month ago I asked you people if eeeXubuntu is worth installing and dumping the default Eee Xandros install. And the replies have been very encouraging, to say the least. So a few days after I posted that entry I just went through and installed eeeXubuntu. To say I never looked back is an understatement.

Since I’ve recently switched to using a Mac Mini and a widescreen LCD as my main work setup, I’m considering switching from Xandros (advanced mode, with tweaks) to Windows XP on my Eee. I know it’s going to be a big move, and I know there would be both advantages and disadvantages.
I’m aware that the […]
If you like to use the Eee’s easy mode, but you don’t like Xandros and would like to use Windows, this is the solution for you. You have to hand it to the EeePC community, their ingenuity is awesome.

I recently downloaded an ISO of eeeXubuntu and was able to create a Live USB out of this. And running it via Live USB, I’m rather impressed. It’s much snappier than the default Xandros. However, tempted as I am to wipe out my current install and replace it with eeeXubuntu, I noticed these few quirks:
Longer […]
As much as I don’t like to install stuff on the Eee to make sure I don’t use up the already limited memory on it, the limitations with the software bundled with the Eee leave me no choice sometimes. Case in point: SMPlayer, the built in video player on the Eee, after some time, does […]
Firefox vs. Opera: Who wins?
I’ve been quite happy with the Mozilla Firefox browser that comes with the default installation of the Eee. However, the Eee’s screen resolution (800 x 480) would mean that websites designed for a higher resolution would have those annoying horizontal scrollbars at the bottom of the screen. And since we have […]
If you think 512MB is enough to run Xandros Linux on, you’re probably right. That is for the average user, though. For someone like me, whose work involves new media (managing a ton of sites via Web and FTP) 512 megabytes is usually not enough. That’s even when running on Linux.
Last night, I experienced slowing […]
