I moved to <a href="http://www.eeebuntu.org/" rel="nofollow">EEEBuntu</a>, the NBR 1.0 release.<br /> Installed like a charm .. iso2stick</p> <p>Pretty funny header :)<br /> # Convert an Ubuntu live CD iso so that it's bootable off of a USB stick<br /> # Copyright 2007 Red Hat, Inc.<br /> # Jeremy Katz<br /> # Jani Monoses (slightly adapted to Ubuntu LiveCD)</p> <p>Tried it first .. the live distro luxury ... and the thing that made me decide was the better font support, much more screen realestate with Eeebuntu , that and the fact that much more tools that can be installed by default from a public repository while not breaking the dependency chain.</p> <p>I created a backup of my configs.. well.. home dir then live-install and off we went.</p> <p>Everything works like a charm, just like with the original Xandors distro,<br /> suspend resume works, wifi works, my whole box is back up and running.</p> <p>Next goal, upgrade my laptop :)</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/705#comments asus eee eee eeebuntu xandros Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:53:05 +0000 Kris Buytaert 705 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/703 <p>Obviously this last OLS week I've been carrying around my EEE. I left my big fat laptop in the hotel room to work on and make backups<br /> at night but the main working machine of the week was my EEE.</p> <p>Typing speed etc was reasonable the I only often ran into hitting the Up arror rather than the Shift button.<br /> My biggest dissappointment however is the battery life. Surfing on this thing for more than 2 hours is just not feasable.</p> <p>Then it's a matter of getting it charged again ... watching /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state update while you are still using it is as<br /> painfull as watching grass grow. and shrink again while you watch at it .. </p> <p>So I tried to keep it charging as much as possible.. so that I could make it to the end of the day. Then charge it at night so I could had a full battery again by the next morning. </p> <p>But afterall the EEE cost less than my phone.. so it's worth the money .. and I was really glad to have it with me it's small, it's<br /> lightweight .. and will last more conferences for me :)</p> <p>O that and the fact that it heats up a lot</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/703#comments asus eee ols opensource Sun, 03 Aug 2008 18:58:26 +0000 Kris Buytaert 703 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
