I decided to put this little demo togheter to show off capabilities of this marvelous 300€ laptop (and also to learn some video editing on Linux platform).

  • how much disk space was free after all the installation of the full system?

  • I have the 4 GB model. After I streamlined the default installation a bit (removed games, unused applications, some documentation and example media files) I managed to squeeze OS space req down to 2 GB. This leaves 256 MB swap, this leaves around 1.5 GB for files. Quite plenty with 4 GB SDHC card. For minimal internal drive footprint, there is puppeee / breeezy puppy linux variants.

  • Nice vid. Too bad about the song in the background.

  • :) I just have heard too many techno tracks on these youtube vids. So I decided to try something different.

    Too bad you didn't like Allison Crowe's music.

  • Great Video!... How do you get installed X-COM game in ubuntu?...

  • to ppdopo: Just used dosbox (from Ubuntu repositories) and UFO/X-COM: Enemy Unknown DOS version from abandonware site (Had to use "gray area" of abandonware, because the copy of UFO:EU I own is for Amiga).

  • why not ditch the solid state like im doing when mine comes in next week and drop like a toshiba drive in there with like 40gb ;)

  • GREAT! :o)

    I'm really happy for you. Just tell anyone of your great GNU/Linux system and enjoy ;o]

    Besides: Anyone know the artist of the song?

  • Actually, now that I've had it for some time, I dumped xandros after about a day, and loaded up hardy (haven't checked if gutsy is working yet)...

    Either way, to inform, compiz-fusion works well, very well actually. I find that it this case it is very functional as well as pretty (desktop wall, and expo is what I mostly use). It really works well for switching desktops on the fly with the limited space.

  • I don't have my eee yet but compiz-fusion (compiz and beryl merged), should work with Xandros. But me for my part, i won't use Xandros but Debian. I don't really know Xandros but if there are no packages for it, you have to build it from source and you don't seem to be a too experienced with linux, so i suggest you to use ubuntu, kubuntu, fedora, or any other distribution. greetz OviloN

  • I don't mind it. I find it annoying sometimes when people use certain songs as if screencapturing has to be a music video

  • i like the song just fine...

    It just doesn't match the video at all.

    Can you use compiz on Xandros? I just got my 4g in the mail today.

  • Third that.
