EeePCLinuxOS: How to install

A post written by Adrian | 10 Comments »

The developers of PCLinuxOS have come up with their own version for Asus Eee PC.

And it’s totally more beautiful than your default Xandros. The software package is complete with OpenOffice, Firefox and Konqueror, Mail and Calendar tools, and lots more.

 

It also has easy mode which looks like Xandros’. Plus it has it’s own Tweak software to help you maximize the potentials of your tiny Asus Eee.

Just like eeeXubuntu, it’s easy to install with Live USB. You’ll need to:

  1. Download the .iso file.
  2. Download and install UNetbootin, a tool specially designed for creating Live USB Linux systems. [for Windows and Linux]
  3. Run UNetbootin tool, browse your downloaded .iso file and start creating your Live USB.
  4. Boot your Eee with the LiveUSB.

That’s pretty much it. Enjoy!

EeePCLinuxOS has a lot of promising potentials and I believe it can run with Compiz Fusion as well. EeePCLinuxOS is currently on Beta Release 3.

    Does this OS have a firewall?
    I discovered the ASUS xandros doesn’t.

    It’s not configured by default but yes it has a software firewall that can be turned on. However it;s felt by some that most Machines don’t need a soft firewall because it’s as easy as slicing through butter for most hackers who really want you information to get through and most home routers now offer a better firewall solution.

    My primary reason for purchasing was to travel with it and connect to open wireless networks. There would be no firewall to hide behind.

    I tried to download the iso a number of times in the last 4 weeks but each time it stops at 19%.

    Why do we need a firewall? Linux computer doesn’t need a firewall unless it’s a server. Who uses EEE PC as a server?

    @Max, maybe it’s because of the server that hosts the download. You can try again after several minutes. I too, experienced that.

    @bob, same as above, you can try again some other time. Have you tried both torrent and direct downloads?

    I did Live USB as suggested and it didn’t give me any errors, but it doesn’t boot with it. Am I doing something wrong?

    Well, in my case it does not even recognize my USB drive as a bootable.
