aerogate Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=697319 Hi there, found this today, looks interesting, wonder if anyone here has one as I have a few questions. Does the browser have full java inluded (script/applet support), and if not can it be installed? What are the CPU specs?

aerogate Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Surely this belongs in hardware :) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Surely this belongs in hardware :) ? Only if it has Mandriva installed or you're trying to install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yossarian Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Does the browser have full java inluded (script/applet support), and if not can it be installed? Don't know, but you can try and find out in the forums here: http://www.eeeuser.com/ You'll find plenty of EEE users there. What are the CPU specs? Processor: 900 MHz Intel Celeron-M ULV 353 which has 512KB L2 cache RAM @ 630MHz (70MHz x 9) cooled by a fan I took it from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC And you'll find more about the specs in the formal Asus site: http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmen...p;l3=0&l4=0 If you get one, let me know how it is. ;) Edited November 23, 2007 by yossarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I would imagine it runs a fully-functional linux distribution, with the ability to install software, so if java isn't there by default it should be available either through the package manager (don't know what version of linux it's got) or by download from the java site.

yossarian Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (don't know what version of linux it's got) Xandros. And I also believe it can be installed from their package manager. If not, one can always install Mandiva on it (which seems to me like a good idea anyhow...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esulcer Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) Plus I think Microsoft is trying to move in on the action, I'm pretty sure this is the one I was reading about, and apparently by the end of the year they will be shipping them with Windows installed on them. I guess Microsoft seen how good they were doing, and thought they would/should have some of the action, which is fair enough I guess, it's a business, and making money is what it's all about. Or maybe if you are cynical, they thought, 'lets squash this Linux thing before it gets out of hand ' or something similar. Yes there it be linky clicky Edited November 24, 2007 by esulcer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yossarian Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I'm not sure it's going to be so easy for them. If the computer's price is around 300 $ US, and for the windows license one is requested to pay another 50 or so, in percentage it's not negligible anymore. But times will tell.

scarecrow Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I will buy an Asus EEE for myself, but I'll wait for the larger 10" screen model. And of course I will put in my favorite Linux distro- can't see why it wouldn't work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
