From Windows to Eee Xandros to Ubuntu NR


Hi,

I am a relatively new Linux user. I bought one of the first Eee 701's in my country with Xandros in June 2008.
After having discovered that ASUS did not care at all to post updates in their repositories, I installed Ubuntu NR on an 8 Gig SD card and it runs perfectly for almost half a year now! Now I get all the updates and I have a huge choice of software to install.
I came from Windows, but I expect never to go back!

Regards,
Rene.

Welcome!

I reckon you're the kind of user Microsoft fear most and make us Linux fans very happy!
