ASUS eeePC: Manager gadget or christmas present for your intern?

Published by Chris under review

This nice litte thingy ASUS eeePC rocks. The new “netbook” *buzzz* trend.

No Setup needed, the pre installed Linux in a stripped down Xandros Distribution. I was using the internal webcam 3 Minutes after the first boot, inside the shop :). Not too bad, compared to the session I had with my Orininal Lenovo Think Pad “ready for Vista” pre installed Vista Business Laptop…

285 EUR street price in .de, graphical WiFi Configuration Tool / Wizard, 3 USB 2.0, Skype, Media Player…

ASUS eeePC Netbook

The only 4 things you need to know about this netbook

  • the console is hidden in the File Manager under Extras / STRG-T
  • Software upgrade just do 
    $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
  • If the sound gets to low open the console and adjust 
    $ alsamixer
  • The black colored netbook has the same price as the fresher looking white one, MacBook fans might be confused…

One response so far
