European Wafaa

After my post, Follow The Netbook Road, I was granted access to SUSE Studio to try and help out with the creation of my proposal - Thanks Nat, Cornelius and team. There was a bit of grumbling about Studio and why was it invitation only etc etc, but to be honest I think the invitation method was the best way to gradually stress test the service. Any way that's not what I'm here to talk about, not yet at least



I'm proud to present to you my first build (well OK not strictly my first build, more like my 27th or somewhere in that region) for the eeePC701. Please have a look over here for details, as you can see only GNOME is done but I will have a KDE images soon followed by XFCE. These images are specific for the eeePC701 as they include a modified xorg.conf file to ensure the correct display resolution (800x480). Please give it a whirl and if it all works I'll add the details to the wiki. All the hardware should work out of the box - Network (wired and wireless), webcam, ACPI etc; I have also included the required codecs so you can watch and listen to your media without hassle.

If people with other netbooks - Acer Aspire One, Dell Mini 9, MSI Wind and other versions of the eeePC would like me to try and do the same, please let me know (comments, e-mail or get hold of me on IRC) I would also like to hear how you get on with it, and if you have any suggestions/bugs etc. Happy netbooking
