bords101 - What do you mean by “video”? If you mean the webcam, yes you can use the webcam with Windows or Linux.

If you’re not running Windows XP on the EEE PC, you’re doing it wrong.

There aren’t many good programs for Linux. You’re missing out.

DIR > LS.”

Hax Or, I see what you did there.

ls –color -alFh > dir > ls

Don’t blame the tool when you do a bad job, blame your lack of skill. GNU/Linux is a better tool but requires greater skill, that’s all. I still don’t recommend it to everybody, just when it’s practical.

I also will never understand how someone would become a Windows or Mac “fanboi”. It just makes no sense. I’ve been using Ubuntu (no dual boot, Ubuntu *only*) on my main PC for a while now and there has literally been no area where I’ve thought “man this really works better in Windows”. Seriously.

Another thing I always wonder is, do the fanboi’s honestly enjoy paying for OS “upgrades” whenever Apple or Microsoft decide they need more money? Seriously, you have to have some very OS specific needs to claim that OSX or Vista is your *only* option. More likely, some people have tried older, less polished GNU/Linux distros and had a bad experience. My first Distro was a very early version of Slackware, and I could see where that would be too much for some people. Ubuntu 8.04 on the other hand is actually easier, more functional, and just an all around better choice for most home users.

I’m not speaking as a GNU/Linux zealot here, GNU/Linux has simply become a better choice for your home PC in my opinion.

I’m not one to judge, but it sounds like NONE of you guys no what you’re talking about!

Compatability Issues?

PC wise I’ve installed ubuntu on about 5 pc’s. No problems.

OpenOffice is a perfect substitute. I use it all the time, I’ve never had any problems with it, and saving it into a word format works perfectly well!

Secondly, Why do all you fanboys defend microsoft so viciously?
Shouldn’t you welcome a high quality alternative that is *also free*

Vista is out already and xp still costs like 300 dollars.. and it came with nothing, office is even more expensive also.

So stop bashing linux!!! It never did anything to you! :’(

In my opinion, the Eee PC is too small to get any important stuff that might require windows - if that’s normally your primary OS. My point is: the Eee PC is best for typing up a document, surfing the web, blogging, etc. You probably wont be wanting to run photoshop, blueprint software, etc.

I’ve used XP for years(since in utero) but am now using mac-os leopard due to its stability and because macs are just cool(so shoot me for being superficial). I personally can’t see what all the OS fuss is about. I think the Eee PC is a really exciting development and the fact that you can modify it to any end which you see fit is great. Isn’t that what we have always wanted. A highly useful product with a wide and varying appeal to consumers?

lets keep the blog on track and play nice in the cyber playground eh guys?
