sjaglin Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 According to the Times site, Intel is going to release the low-cost laptop classmate PC in the West. In most countries, the classmate is distributed with Mandriva, It's good to see Mandriva at last looking interrested in that type of project. I already run Mandriva Cooker on my £ 200 Eee asus laptop and it works a treat. PCLinuxOS have a better project (eeepclinuxos) for the small computers using a squashfs which gives you a full file system with the usual software (openoffice, firefox, compiz-fusion, gimp etc...) fitting on 700MB. Out of the 4GB of ssd it leaves you with loads of space for your files... Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 MSI is issuing a somewhat more advanced/expensive version of Asus' eee PC... fully Linux compatible. It sounds great, but I will not get one. I still have three MSI mainboards gone south i my wannabe trashbin- all failed badly within 2,5 years of purchase, and they are all that I have ever bought from MSI...
