Updated EEE Linux OS for EEE PCs (700, 701, 900, 901, 1000H etc)

ASUS never rolled much needed updates for the EEE PCs that ran their Xandros Linux OS. No upgrades were given to the (poor) users of the EEE 700-series which were forced to use old version of Firefox (v2). Folks at XEPC.org have unveiled version 1.7 of the EEE PC OS that is compatible with EEE 700, 701, 701SD, 900, 900A, 900SD, 901, 904HD, 1000 and S101.

The main features and improvements that you will find in this update are:

• Support for more languages
• More themes
• Inclusion of Firefox 3 and OpenOffice 2.4<==
• It uses kernal 2.6.26 that supports hyperthreading. Ofcourse, you need a netbook that has an Atom processor in it to use hyperthreading. This also means that this feature won’t work on the netbooks that use Celeron processor that includes 700-series

Upgrading ASUS EEE S101′s RAM = Easy as Pie!

Just like the other EEE PCs, the RAM upgrade is easy as pie. Although, I should make it clear that there is no user-friendly way of upgrading the SSD.

Anyway, here are the steps on how to upgrade the RAM

1. Place the device upside down on the table.
2. Unscrew the two screws using Phillips screw driver. You will find the RAM to the left. Gently push the holders in opposite directions and pull the RAM out.
