RIP Asus eeepc 1001ha

Posted 05-28-2022 at 03:42 PM by brianL

Recently booted this slow little ****er up, and got a splash screen announcing that the CMOS battery was dead. So I checked online what battery I needed, and how to replace it.

This time involved even more disassembly. I was as gentle as possible, but two clips holding ribbon cables broke off, plus the motherboard was damaged. The...

ABOUT my MX Linux Remix 220524
MX Linux (based on Debian) is by far the most popular Linux system in the world according to DistroWatch.com. I tested MX Linux a few months ago and noticed immediately that one can change the MX system and create a new ISO with MX Snapshot.

About SlackEX 15.0 64 bit Build 220518 (Xfce4), Build 220117 (Enlightenment/Xfce4) and Build 220110 (LXQt)

I'm not really in favour of doing less than a full installation of Slackware, because it really isn't designed to be installed this way. This is offered completely without warranty. I'm not responsible for you breaking your system if you try this.

a/aaa_glibc-solibs
a/aaa_libraries
