Ubuntu Eee Goes Gold

bjcarne writes in to commend Jon Ramvi and his team, who have delivered their first stable release of Ubuntu Eee, an Ubuntu version customized for the Asus Eee PC. "In December Ubuntu Eee started as a one man project, but [over] the last months several people have joined in on the development. We're trying to achieve something which [hasn't] been successful for any other Linux distribution yet: a OS targeting a single computer which includes the best applications available. This means people can buy this really cheap computer and easily get a great OS on it for free. Ubuntu Eee is just for the Asus Eee. Ubuntu Eee is smaller, faster and we're bringing people the cutting edge of technology (while being stable and free of course)."

Eee PC 1000 pops up on Taiwanese e-tail site

How much will Asus' Eee PC 1000 set you back once it hits retail stores in the United States? Hard to say. Asus hasn't announced official pricing, but we can get a rough idea by checking Taiwanese online retailer PC Home, which has added a listing for the Eee PC 1000 to its website.

Australian Eee PC 900-XP to be Priced Lower Than Linux Counterpart

Asus is turning a surprising deal in America into and even more surprising deal for Aussies. After the wild success of the Linux-only Eee PC 4G in America, which retailed for a lowly $399, Asus recently announced beefier upcoming Eee PC 900's, which comes in two versions-- one sporting Linux and, for the first time, another version equipped with Windows XP. The new PC's were both priced at $549, a surprise to some who expected the Windows OS version to be more expensive. The catch -- the Windows machine only came with a 12 GB solid state drive, while the Linux machine came with a 20 GB drive.

The Asus 'Eee Stick' Wii-style nunchuck controller

Asus has been showing these new gaming control peripherals for its Eee PC range at the Computex event in Taipei this week - and the Eee Stick seems to have taken more than a little pinch of design inspiration from Nintendo’s Wii.

ASUS: 'Linux Not Essential to Eee PC Success'

IconSo you thought Linux was the key to the Eee PC's success? Not so, according to ASUS. "The bulk of the requests and requirements we see in the marketplace are for the model with Windows rather than Linux," says Henry Lee, Acer's senior product manager. "It's a give and take between simplicity of usage for the masses versus full customisation. The Linux version is really only to use exactly what is provided, and someone in the know can easily remove what's been installed. But consumers are accustomed to the Windows environment, and the Windows version will be a stronger player eventually." Editor's Note: More broadly, this piece examines whether the popularity of the Eee and its Linux-bearing cousins will be sustained, or if they will ultimately get beaten out in the netbook space by Windows-based versions.

Asus Set To Release Desktop Eee PC Variant

the_leander writes "The Register has pictures of the desktop version of Asus's Eee PC, reportedly called the 'Ebox.' It will be released early next month after it has been unveiled publicly at Computex in Taipei on June 3. It'll come equipped with the same Xandros Linux distribution as the Eee, though it's likely that Windows XP will be available also. But given the probable choice for CPU, Atom, ithe Ebox is unlikely to allow for the use of Vista, unless you're something of a masochist. It's expected to retail for $200-$300."

Review: Asus Linux EeePC 901

IconAs we all know by now, the Asus Eee PC has been a massive success for Asus. While that's really nice for the men and women working at Asus, us operating system enthusiasts like the device for another reason: it came pre-loaded with something else than Windows, which creates awareness of alternatives among the public, which in turn helps to diversify the operating system marketplace - something we all want. While the new Eee PC can be pre-loaded with Windows, the Linux version is still there. El Reg takes a look at the Linux version of the new Eee PC 901.

Asus Eee PC 901 20G Linux Edition

Brimming with features and with a new CPU and better battery, the Eee PC 901 personifies exactly the spirit in which the original was created.

Dell Shows Off Its Eee PC Rival

Tom Moreland tips us to photos of Dell's answer to the Eee PC on the Direct2Dell site. Dell posted these after an attendee at the D conference spotted Michael Dell carrying one. The company hasn't released any details, so you can take these with a grain of salt — from a commenter to Dell's post: "Here are the specs for the Dell Mini Inspiron: Atom 1.6 GHz, 3 USB ports, Ethernet, Card reader, Kensington lock, Adapter socket, Mic/line-out, VGA port, screen resolution at 1280×800. Scheduled to be released before the end of June 2008. It costs less than $500."

Early Look At ASUS Eee PC 901 With Intel Atom CPU

Might E. Mouse writes "Reviews are hitting the net for the first Intel Atom-powered netbooks, and TrustedReviews has posted one for the ASUS Eee PC 901 20G Linux Edition. Has ASUS won the Atom(ic) war before it even started? With features like Wireless-N and a 6600mAh battery good for four to seven hours, that might well be the case. TR rated it highly, but I'm going to wait for their MSI Wind review before making a purchase — their first look at the Wind showed a better keyboard and larger storage." An anonymous reader notes that despite the increased capabilities, the 901 debuts at a lower cost than its predecessor.
