So this is the new OS that I’m going to get on my Eee-PC next week – Eeebuntu Netbook Remix.
I have a good frind that is well-versed in Linux who’s going to be helping me. It’s a good thing becuase I’m a total Linux n00b but apparently Ubuntu is quite easy to use.
Honestly, the Linux OS on the Eee-PC – as standard – is pretty OK. It has everything you could want and it’s super easy to set up and use but I want a little more flexibility and Eeebuntu looks like the OS to get.
Eeebuntu Netbook Remix is similar to Standard, except it uses the Netbook Launcher, customised for the small screen of the EeePC and over 41,000 downloaders to date have chosen it for their installation!
Instead of the usual Eeebuntu desktop, the main launcher provides a tabbed environment with easy to access icons for all the applications and documents you use day to day. It’s easy to customise and much quicker to navigate through when you’re on the move.
As with Standard, the Netbook Remix comes with a complete set of applications so you can start working and playing on your EeePC straight away.
And thanks to the Array kernel, wifi, networking, function keys and sound work out of the box – no need to compile or configure anything!
If you mainly use your EeePC on the move and want quick access to your applications, try Eeebuntu NBR.
Excited and nervous but, hey, I felt the same the first time my dad introduced me to MS-DOS 3.0 back in the 80s.
