Harder Better Faster Stronger
Today, I threw Ubuntu of my (big, clobby, stupid, nonbatteried, nonEee) laptop and installed my Debian Lenny.
Why? Because Ubuntu sucks. Why? Because its slow. And I thought:
Now that you got a local apt mirror… why not use it on all linux machines?
Install was quite easy. Kernel 2.6.24 runs fine aswell. Compiz doesnt, nor does screensaver. But thats nothing I hadnt have with ubuntu.
Maybe I’ll retry Ubuntu 8. But never 7.10 again.
Since my topics tend to be interesting for others than germans I decided to switch language of this blog (and my posts) to english. Ah and i updated WP to 2.3.3 (german).
So what happened since my last post? I got fed up with my local shops always promising me like oh yes EEE next week. Fuck you. I looked up a good buy @ eBay. Bought a 701 4G German in Pearl White. And wow, since last Wednesday I’m probably the luckiest guy on earth.
The EEE is small, cute, perfect, cool. As a first action (ok, i tested xandros before) i removed the xandros linux and installed my debian lenny. Simply by plugging in my usb cdrom drive, installing the small netinst image and then installing everything I need.
Took me some hours but I now have a (almost) full working EEE PC with Debian Lenny and Fluxbox as WM.
I also noticed the cardreader being capable of reading/writing SDHC cards. That’s just great since it extends the capacity from 4gb+max. 2gb to 4gb+max … 32gb(?).
I also spend hours on planning my modifications. But more to come.
My conclusion is: the EEE is probably the best thing i purchased this year (and going to).
+: this blog looks crap atm. I’ll fix that this evening.
