Will Microsoft ever stop selling XP?
Blog While writing up the release details of Asus' Eee Box today, it took me a moment to twig that the machine was slightly odd. The answer is self-evident: the Eee Box's innards are very similar to those of, say, the upcoming Eee PC 1000 - both use the...

Mandriva Linux - Wonderful and Maddening
Blog Comment Many people run Mandriva on the Eee as we took care to ensure that 2008 Spring runs well on it, but it's not the distro that comes on the machine out of the box. Quick note: actually, the Eee comes with a customized version of Xandros.

Overprice? thanks to the tax rate in UK
Member Review Not sure whether the reviewer know about this, this Eee Box sell at £117 (7500 New Taiwan Dollar) at Taiwan early August, the price now would be dropping a bit. Rather than saying overprice, I would say that Asus clearly show no attention and...

Ubuntu Netbook Remix - An Acid Test
Blog Comment I couldn't comment on the Eee PC but my camera works on NBR right out of the box. It may be too much to ask of a first generation Eee, but why not install a full mint on a net book with the usuall 1gb of ram and 160gb HD?

Microsoft's Mojave just a desert vista
Blog Comment Life is better now that I've swapped over to Mandriva who have nearly all the support required for a eee out of the box (with the usual minor Wifi issues) but I still had to hand hack xorg.conf to stop the stupid synaptics tap and drag stuff running.

Apricot PicoBook Pro: First impressions
Blog The keyboard is awful, but arguably no more so than the keyboard on, say, the Eee 900. It came in a box listing it as a "Mini-note". There's a couple of Apricot stickers on the box, but I can't tell who originally made the thing.

PDC Day minus one
Blog In comparison to my original Asus 701 Eee (which I often take to conferences to take notes on) the HP feels much more solidly built and the keyboard is a much better experience. The HP2133 comes with SUSE linux enterprise desktop on it out of the box.

Ultimate road-warrior tech at CeBIT
News Due to the lower price, we'd still rate the original Eee PC as the ultimate tech at CeBIT for the road warrior wanting a simple, rugged and, above all, cheap laptop. The Eee PC is fine as a cheap laptop you can throw in a bag, but if you want a...

MacBook Air conditioning may not be so cool

Windows Vista - Here I go again!
Blog Comment It comes to something when my wee Eee running a much-hacked-about Ubuntu consistently beats an expensivo Sony with Vista. I sighed and moved on to other things; I'm sticking with Vista on that machine because I need to have at least one box here...

Asus Eee PC S101
Blog I’ve been sitting on the Eee PC S101 for rather longer than I ought to have done - sorry about that Asus. The Eee PC S101 is a netbook, but you’d hardly know it. Right out of the box it looks like a businessperson’s kind of computer.
