It’s been a while since I searched updates about one of the coolest OS for the Eee PC, one of the firsts to have Wi-Fi working ootb, the EeePCLinuxOS. Unexpectedly, the page says it’s down. The author left a letter to everyone, expressing his patriotic acceptance of the duty to serve his land.
Here’s his message:

It is with sincerest regret that I must inform you EeePCLinuxOS has been put on hold. I (JMiahMan) have been called back to active duty military after being inactive for 3 years. My only regrets are that a final version wasn’t released before my deployment. I hope to come back in a year or so and continue what was started even if the EeePCs are outdated I will still have one, so if it’s for my own use there will still be development.As of right now the forums are still open and if you’re lucky someone may be able to help you with any questions.
If all else fails ask for help installing PCLinuxOS on the EeePC on the PCLinuxOS forums as I know a few people have gotten vanilla installs of PCLinuxOS MiniME 2008 installed with some of my earlier packages. If you go this route please help out PCLinuxOS in any way possible.
Thank you all for your continued support. I hope to be back soon
Kind Regards,
~JMiahMan
