[dying2l]

dear idiot who posted this video... if your going to do a "tutorial" think you chould fucking speak or something noone likes hearing white noise because your a shut-in who cant speak. eather dont make the video or tell us what the fuck you are doing.

[robwgibbons]

51ftyon3, damn. That was really rude and unnecessary. This video doesn't say "tutorial" anywhere, asshole. He did exactly what the description says. It's a computer booting Ubuntu. Dumbass.

[killcheese]

noob, you didnt install ubuntu to your sd card, you just put the live cd on it.

[ECASirk]

Oh yeah!! How didn't any of us realise that!?

I know...EEE Pc's don't have CD drives...

[Kin632]

Um, I think you can mount the live cd via .iso

[kennethkkjjensen]

sorry but I think you're the noob since you don't know that Eee pc's don't have any cd drive !

[Kin632]

@killcheese

The point of this video wasn't to install ubuntu on the Eee PC, but to show that it is capable of running such an operating system.

[themagicgrimbo]

zebo there is no hardriveon the asus ee pc :p

[Shadowpillar]

The reason this is slow: SD cards are horrible when it comes to speed, they arent really meant to run operating systems, they're merely for storage. They're not meant for performance of any kind, however the onboard SSD is.

[zebo1337]

goddamn people...you are all retards. it's only slow becuase that is the livecd, it isn't installed on the harddrive. wow. it would be faster than Windows if it was installed on hard drive.

[trevorlaw]

how do u get the crystal mon version?

[utuber111963]

15 sec to get to desktop normally is what the adverts claim. Here we can see it takes longer than Windows 3.1 to start. What a waste of time.

Like trying to ring BT customer services.

[ksiimson]

LOL Windows 3.1 doesn't take a whole lot of time to start.

[utuber111963]

my point exactly. Win 3.1 on a 386 (it's natural home) is much faster to boot from HDD. It can boot from a floppy in 20 sec and perfectly able to run the things that this EEE Pc does.

[ksiimson]

Try swapping Xandros for Xubuntu.

[schluckebier]

sorry for the stupid question but what is the difference between xubuntu and normal ubuntu

[jbyoung]

The difference is the desktop environment.

Ubuntu use the gnome desktop.

Xubuntu use the xfce4 desktop.

They are both good desktops.

"Here we can see it takes longer than Windows 3.1 to start."

win3.1 started in under 10 seconds on my 486.

... He is obviously starting from the live cd! not from the harddrive, and this is not the distribution that comes with the eee, so this just got twice as irrelevant by my calculations.

[Lizard123456789]

That's a very slow laptop.

[michaeljking]

It normally boots to xandros linux in 15 seconds, but I suspect here it is loading the Ubuntu Live cd into ram, which is always a slow process, It should be quicker than that (though not as quick as the xandros and icewm desktop) if you install Ubuntu to the solid state hard drive

[Tommyr]

Cool but slow to load. Wonder how Linux Mint would do on it?
