This page gives a brief description of my eeePC and the things I did with it.
My eeePC was purchased in Tainan, R.O.C. on oct 21, 2007, 5 days after they were introduced there.
It
is a white 4G with a 7A motherboard; the only variant that was
available at that time, and has chinese symbols on the keyboard apart
from the standard latin characters.
I discovered quite quickly
that it indeed attracts crowds. While trying it out in the shop I
started a console window. That little action was enough to draw a small
crowd around me.
Meanwhile my eeePC has been pimped with some upgrades.
I've replaced the original 512 MB of memory with a Kingston KVR667D2S5/2G module.
In order to support the 2GB of memory I've rebuild the kernel.
I have also added an A-Data 8GB SDHC card (class 6).
This
A-Data card is split into 2 4GB partitions, one partition containing a
stripped version of XP (using nlite), the other one containing a fairly
original Xandros version (but with unionfs removed).
On the SSD is my working distribution, which is still Xandros based.
Apart
from that I have a bootable usb flash disk with freedos on it, another
bootable usb flash disk with puppy linux on it (without networking) and
an eeexubuntu bootable CD.
For controlling the eeePC I
experimented with a Wii remote. Technically this works, but I need to
get a sensor bar to really make this work properly.
