Compiz Fusion on the Eee PC

Here's Compiz Fusion on my 512MB RAM 4G Eee PC, with Ubuntu 7.10 installed on a Transcend 4GB SDHC card. Effects are pretty smooth, but it could be better with more RAM installed (1GB/2GB). Unlike other videos, this one showcases more plugins, such as Dodge, Group/Tab Windows, Shift Switcher and Fire Paint, besides the more common ones such as Cube, Expo and Scale.

Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off, by Panic at the Disco.

Dang I want one of these things now! Almost pocket-size, but still plenty of processing power.

[celyst]

Yep, you most definitely want one :). It gives decent specs for its price.

[Peter Schmidt]

do what i did and get one on ebay. due to people not really knowing what it was, there was a ridiculous return rate and you can find them anywhere on ebay for really cheap. i bought a model twice as powerful as the one that celyst has for $190, free shipping

Precompiled kernels aren't as fun :-P

[celyst]

I believe on Eeeuser there is a precompiled kernel for Xandros that recognises 2GB of RAM.

[Steven707]

You can probably get Xandros to recognize the full 2 GB by recompiling your kernel with "high memory support"

I cannot thank you enough!! You fill me with so much confidence! This video proves to me that when I finally get around to doing something, it'll look good!! xD

I currently own the EEE 701 (4GB) and two 4GB SDHC cards. I plan to partition one so that 2.5/3GB is given over to Ubuntu 8.10 which I will then boot off. I put a 2GB ram chip in a while ago, but Xandros only uses 1GB, hopefully Ubuntu will use the 2GB, making everything better!

How did you install Ubuntu onto your SDHC card?

Sorry, the Eee PC is long gone =). IMO there are much better choices right now.
