/me stares at Eee Stick. /me stares at Eee Box. /me wonders whether Asus is planning to take over the Wii market. /me stops fantasizing. /me eyes the L130/L230/L200 Ncomputing terminals scattered all over the school some mounted on LCD monitors, some sitting in their slots and some dangling around. /me believes he has found the perfect replacement. Thierry, did you get the B202 or the B203? Did you encounter any challenges getting Ubuntu Hardy on your Eee Box? How is the Eee Box performance? > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_EEE_Top Cor! That thing looks really interesting. Hmm, too bad both these things come only with Windows XP. So much for XP being discontinued. Asus needs to grow a spine and offer Ubuntu also for their preloaded operating system. I am half worried about telling the ICT Leader about the Eee Box...I may never be able to convert the whole school over to Ubuntu if he decides he'd rather keep the blooming XP even if it means them boxes cannot join the domain. I'm going to try calling up the local Asus branch to see if I can get Ubuntu or no preloaded Windows XP Home. I certainly hope they don't offer XP Pro... > > > And here Youtube videos: > > Eee Box: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNDmMLMGSQk& > > Eee Top: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GODDNPVj1kM > ---- Thanks Asmo.
