Eee Update

Filed under: Linux — Tags: , , , , — Jonathan Rothwell @ 16:43

My Eee PC arrived today. It’s working fantastically. Well, apart from one small detail.

The included Xandros-based Linux doesn’t like WPA-PSK networks, so I’m having to install Eeedora on the Eee. It’ll certainly improve things, because Fedora

  • will connect to WPA-PSK networks
  • Doesn’t change the hostname on each bootup
  • Generally doesn’t suck

So the review will only be of the (excellent) Asus hardware, and not of Xandros’s (awful) bundled OS. And I might review Eeedora as well, if I so choose.
