Well, Ive joined the eeePC club with a (black) 4G surf. This looks
like it could be fun!
My only real complaint so far is the low resolution (800x480 is rather
cramped) and the power consumption/battery life is pretty miserable,
nominally 22W/3.5 h.
Despite all that it does a remarkable job with browsing, office,
skype, photos, music and even video (given an external, USB DVD or
HDD). However, Im sure the gory details will be aired in forthcoming
publications, so I wont rain on that picknick..
For now Im stuck with a more or less unmodified version; Ive only
added a 2Gb SD.
I have temporarily given up on uQLx, as the necessary tools to compile
and make the package is not included on the eee (if anyone (Tobias?)
can supply me with the uQLx binaries, I'll give it another spin. Its
been about 8 years since I last fiddled with Linux and uQLx, so be
gentle, please.
Ive also tried installing Wine, which seems to have worked on the
whole, but Im having some problems. The only details I can find on
this operation at present are at
http://www.eee-pc.fr/2008/02/11/wine-windows-eeepc/ My problems may
relate to the fact that I dont understand a word of French (except
couchette (or however you spell the name of a bed on a sleeper train
between Paris and London. Long, sad story.. :(( However, couchette
doesnt seem to figure in these instructions, so apart from the bash I
am left abashed. Perhaps someone can help? This could be of use to
thousands of eeeQLers all over the planet!
