The box has a restore disk for the ASUS Linux OS and a drivers disk for Windows XP. <BR/><BR/>I played with live CDs of various Linuxes (is that a word?) specifically- Puppy, DSL, Ubuntu 8.04. All ran fine but none would use the Wireless or sound. There may have been other drivers that didn't work as well but I was just playing and didn't take the time to really make it work. <BR/><BR/>I actually like the default OS. It's not too shabby! It runs really really well and I can get 3-4 hours of use out of the battery for web stuff. The EEE PC sees USB drives really well and I have an external USB DVDRW. Both work flawlessly. The default OS appears to be built on Xandros.<BR/><BR/>Complaints- none really. The keyboard is very tiny and hard to type on. Not so much because it's tiny, but because it's keys are hard to push. Much more so than a normal laptop. There isn't a good image editing tool.<BR/><BR/>I haven't tried to install anything yet. As I said, it has everything I need to use for now!<BR/><BR/>I would recommend this laptop to a student who needs portability. As for a power user like me who does photos and advanced networking stuff- it would need a little tweaking but it's so dang cute I can't resist loving it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956825843211906595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31098884.post-19367401871297024052008-01-05T19:59:00.000-08:002008-01-05T19:59:00.000-08:00This looks interesting:http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubu...This looks interesting:<BR/><BR/>http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:homerxhuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090856658308698665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31098884.post-15330123264394028392008-01-05T17:12:00.000-08:002008-01-05T17:12:00.000-08:00That's awesome.
