Compiz fusion running on Eeepc 701

If you guys are impressed with this, you should see what kind of eye candy and power you get from a full desktop on a modern system running linux.

amazing that it runs so well on a machine with such low specs.

I bought an Acer Aspire One here in canada for $280USD and it came with the Atom 1.6ghz processor, 1.5GB ram, and a 160GB HD, and the first thing I ever did was install Ubuntu 8.10 on it. I absolutely love the little thing, and if you're considering getting an Asus netbook, maybe give the Acer a look as well, theres plenty of reviews of both online.

someone want to chat Vs

that... is awesome.

i'm new to linux, just installed ubuntu. this is my first time with linux.

will this be pretty hard to do if i go buy an eee pc with little linux knowledge? or are the drivers pretty easy to get?

actually, I think that there's a distro of ubuntu designed for the eee pc! as for drivers, it is so dang easy to get them it's pathetic. I just booted up to ubuntu for the first time about 3 months ago and one of the first things that popped up was 'restricted nvidia drivers available' it was so easy!

yeah but anyway, not everybody have the same luck, some ati users have much problems with drivers...

tmason, your doing to definitely love your eee pc. i got the 2gb surf a while ago, but with that 2gb i got rid of the lunix that came with it and replaced it with xubuntu (1.5gb required) giving me only 500mb but then i got an 8gb hc micro sd and a 320gb externel sata drive.
so from my original 2gb surf, i now have a new OS and 328.5gb (which is 328,500mb) which is freakin amazing!
anyway, your definately gonna love it. Just get creative and enjoy

forza linux e forza l'eeepc!

C'mon stop teabagging Vista.

Actually just continue.
