Ubuntu 9.04 on Edubook

Demonstration of Ubuntu 9.04 running on the low-cost Xcore86 based Gecko Edubook. The Edubook is only $199.95, making it one of the lowest priced devices that can run the x86 version of Ubuntu. The Edubook is unique in that it is fanless, ultra energy efficient (6.5 watts), uses standard AA NiMH rechargeable batteries and uses SDs for solid state storage.

What about Chrome OS (when it comes out) + Edubook? It could be a nice combination :-)

I haven't seen anything other than videos for ChromeOS, now called ChromiumOS. If it is standard x86, then it should work. If it uses newer kernels, the NIC should work.

I have an edubook and I'd like to install Ubuntu. Are there any special tips or tricks for installing?
