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

Paul Merak — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:22:40 +0000

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
