Eee Site is now Liliputing!

In order to better cover the diverse array of mini computers coming to market, Eee Site is moving to a new domain: Liliputing.com.

So it turns out that that there's a way to boot a live Ubuntu environment from a USB flash disk without spending six minutes waiting for your Eee PC to be ready. OasisBob over at EeeUser has put together a handy little Xubuntu LiveCD designed specifically for Eee PC users. Basically, its just a regular Xubuntu installation disc/LiveCD, but with a few Eee friendly tweaks like:

  • Adjustments for the low resolution desktop
  • Native WiFi drivers
  • WLAN support
In other words, once you boot EeeXubuntu you should be able to get online within a matter of seconds, making EeeXubuntu almost as easy to use as the Xandros environment that ships with the Eee PC.

Running eeeUbuntu on a SDHC 4G right now with no problems. It's a breeze if you follow the instructions on the wiki for installing to SDHC. I just leave the card in the eeePC and normally boot from it. If I want to boot from the internal memory just hit ESC on startup and pick the internal store (or use GRUB via the SDHC to get the same results.)
