A post written by | 6 Comments »

This is what I’m talking about. Anytime soon, Ubuntu Eee 8.04 will be completed and here it is now. I am sure that the team behind this is in overjoy. Congratulations to all who took part of making this possible. Users will definitely love your distro and definitely more users will be part of the growing Linus community.

I assume Wifi works OOTB and that’s what everybody wants, right?

      I am downloading the torrent of the Ubuntu distribution to my Pentium 4 machine, running the Windows XP operating system. I would like to install the operating system onto my ASUS eee Surf 700, using a USB key. The instructions that show up when I click on the “Download Installer” link seem to be meant for users who are running Linux (?) on their PC.

      Are there / can you provide simple instructions for transferring Ubuntu to a usb key and then installing the os onto the ASUS eee from the USB key? Thanks.

      lol, In fact it seems that the xubuntu 8.10 gold version doesn’t exist! Actualluy developpers can’t include a compiled madwifi driver to the kernel (so you have to recompile it after each kernel upgrade), so the guy decided to not release à eeeXubuntu 8.10.

      The page http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/index.php5?title=How_to_use_the_ubuntu-eee_script indicates how-to use the famous riceytweak scripto help you to autoconfigure your Xubuntu on your EeePC.

      Is this real? Guys, I apologize if you get disappointed landing on this page looking for Ubuntu 8.10 Gold. I was careless when I made the title of this post. I believe I have not heard about Ubuntu 8.10 during the time I posted this, and I was also surprised to learn this from you.

      I’m changing the title. I guess it’s suppose to be 8.04
