Eu não vejo nenhum problema nisso, afinal nenhum dos computadores que eu já tive/tenho veio com Linux instalado neles. Este aqui mesmo, tem uma bela de uma etiqueta do Windows Vista Home Premium fixada na lateral da cpu, mas em todos eles eu formatei e instalei Linux.

Eu bem que gostaria de ter um Eee Pc. Seria o ideal para o frio curitibano. Me enfiaria embaixo das cobertas e usuaria ele para navegar, ler emails, acessar o Google Reader e outras pequenas coisas. Mas é claro que a primeira coisa que eu faria com ele seria instalar o EeeDora. Pronto, sem xiitismo, teria meu Eee PC com Linux, e todo o dinheiro gasto pela Microsoft com a Asus teria sido um desperdício.

Infelizmente a frase acima está no futuro do passado, porque a menos que eu ganhe o Eee Pc da promoção do Br-Linux, não terei um tão cedo, pois gastei uma boa grana na minha nova camera digital.
Talvez para o final do ano, quem sabe?

Asus Eee PC 701, svart
Processor: Intel Celeron Mobile 900 Mhz
Interminne: 2 GB (512 MB standard)
Lagring: 4 GB SSD-hårddisk
Skärm: LCD 7 tum
Operativsystem: Xandros Linux. Jag hade tänkt att installera Eeedora istället, men tyvärr så fungerade inte den installationen. Ska kolla upp det nästa vecka då jag har semester. Skulle även vara trevligt att prova på Mac OS X.

Det negativa med Eee är att den fungerar dåligt med skyddat trådlöst nätverk. Jag var tvungen att göra mitt skyddade trådlösa nätverk oskyddat. Det andra negativa är batteriet. Det håller bara ca 2 timmar.

Tisdagen den 3 juni packade jag upp mitt paket från Onoff.se. Det kändes som att det var julafton igen:

Yum is Fedora's software management system. In geek terms, it's a wrapper for rpm that automatically retrieves and installs software packages. Yellow Dog Updater, Modified.

While the command list is vast, this is intended to be a quick tutorial to familiarize someone with yum.

Here are some basic commands (all done from a terminal window, of course!):

yum update
updates all installed packages

yum info package_name
Gets information specific to the supplied package name. Good to know what you're going to install, or what the package will do to your system ahead of time.

yum install package_name
Installs the supplied package name. You will have to answer a few Y/N questions - typically you'll answer 'yes'.

yum remove package_name
Removes the supplied package name. Again, you'll do the Y/N thing.

yum list installed|less
This tells yum to list all the installed packages. The | (pipe symbol) followed by 'less' just tells your system to paginate the results. Remember, "less is more".  ;-)

yum list updates|less
This will tell yum to show you what packages need to be updated. It's nice to do this before the 'yum update' command, so you know what to expect.

yum clean all
By default, yum is messy. It tends to leave behind extra files. So, every so often, it's a good idea to tell yum to clean itself up.

The yum package tool is very easy to get a basic understanding of, and is quite a powerful tool once you get a hang of it.

The default desktop with eeedora, Xfce.

Browsing the menu...

Connected with my u727 evdo usb modem!!! This was the main reason for switching to EEEDora for me.

Running xchat...

The screenshots were done with gimp, which was trivial to install.

So, if you're down in the dumps with xandros.... give eeedora a spin!

Reading several blogs and forums finally led me to a poorly written guide to recompiling the kernel in order to get my card to work. No thanks!

I also found out about EEEDora, which works seamlessly with my evdo card.

So my decision was this:

1. Follow a poorly written guide that references 2 other guides and recompile the kernel
2. Install EEEDora

Hmmm.

Of course, I went with EEEDora. Let me tell you, EEEDora is the distribution of choice if you want to be serious about using your EEE.

Setup was painless.

1. Visit http://wiki.eeeuser.com/eeedora:installing
2. Download EEEDora
3. Either use an external CDROM or USB Drive to install EEEDora

The only little hiccup I had in the process was getting the Asus to boot off the flash drive. It's a little confusing. In BIOS, you have to identify the drive order, then the boot order.

EEEDora is just about done installing some extras - when I get a chance to upload some screenshots, I will.

Moraleja: si se compran una Eee, o cualquier otro gadget, y no trae la fuente original, fíjense que sus especificaciones sean las adecuadas al consumo del equipo. Si no las cumple, es muy probable que tengan problemas como el nuestro.

¡Suerte!

Ensuite il suffit de brancher la clef sur le EEEPC et au Bios appuyer sur la touche Echap pour choisir le boot sur le clef USB.

Le système se charge directement et sans avoir à l'installer. C'est pas mal pour se faire une idée.
