Here's compiz-fusion running on the ASUS eeepc 701. I've set mine up to dual boot with the stock Xandros on the SDD and Xubuntu on a 8Gb SDHC card - compiz is running under Xubuntu - with only 512Mb RAM and i910 3d intel chipset. Runs very smooth!

  • oh yes, is that on the standard Os or have put different flavour of linux on?

  • I left the standard Xandros install on the SSD (for fast boot access for email/web/etc). The compiz-fusion you see in the vid is running under Xubuntu on a 8Gb SD card that I can dual boot too when starting the eeepc

  • How did you do that i want to do it on mine

  • i have an eee 701 running ubuntu netbook 10.04. compiz does not work at all, maybe its conflicting with another WM. im going to put 9.10 desktop on an SD card and boot that to see if it works. (is yours overclocked BTW)

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • wanting new friends

    someone want to chat Vs

  • 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!

  • 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?
