bill_262003 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 really? linux-YM now works for the webcam? my gf is in dubai and I am convincing her to get a laptop para mastipid kaysa overseas call.. tutal libre wifi sa building na tinitirahan nya. any info would be appreciated.. bagay na bagay kasi sa kanya ang asus eee na eto since for browsing and chat lang ang gamit nya, and syempre gusto ko rin makita siya via webcamI think I should have made myself more clearer. Sorry, my mistake. It works with YM if you install windows and install windows YM. But for linux-YM, you have to download the linux driver for the webcam. Which I am not sure if there is a driver cause I just installed Windows XP instead. Asus eeePC - Linux does support skype so tipid ka pa din sa overseas call. Quote Link to comment

bill_262003 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Question:Will there be space left in the hard drive, if installed with;a. Windows Meb. Windows 2000c. Windows 2003 Asus Eee Laptop Yes, there will be space left if you install windows ME and windows 2000 professional (not the server) and even for the Windows 2003. But, I would be concerned about the drivers for Windows ME. Drivers for windows 2000 and XP are usually the same and the Asus EEEPC comes with drivers for windows XP. But after you install the other applications (such as MS office, firefox, mail application, etc.) then there might be no more space left for the 4Gig version. There is already an 8 gig version but the price is too steep (29T) to make it attractive. For me the best option would still be to retain the Linux, but if you really want windows then go for windows XP. IMO. Quote Link to comment

Windows 2003Some have installed TinyXP in lieu of Xandros and found it to their satisfaction. Just a question. Why even bother with Windows Me? Animo! Quote Link to comment

Windows 2003One practical way of getting more storage space is by using a 4gb SD card which would effectively double your storage space for a much lesser cost than an 8gb Asus Eee unit.

greenarrow Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 is the HDD upgradable? Quote Link to comment
Guest Leviticus Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 medyo OT.. speaking of tinyXP, can someone direct me to a download site? I've done a google search and all I got were reviews and no download site. Quote Link to comment
xyberguy Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 it has no HDD. it uses solid-state storage with no moving parts to make it energy efficient.it also equates to more durability as well as relatively faster file access than a HDD Quote Link to comment

Very true. You install the OS in the pre-installed 4GB SSHD and use an SD card to store your data. The SD card read/write access is a bit slower than the Solid State HD (based on my experience accessing pix in the SD card, although the pix are a bit large - taken from a 10megapix cam). I tried copying the same file to the SSHD and accessed it from there and the loading was faster. Quote Link to comment

YM for linux does not have all the features in YM for windows; specifically the voice and webcam features. also, you can't install your usual windows programs in linux with the same ease. however, linux OS have the feature of being straightforward. madali lang matuto once you get the hang of it; especially if it is just for browsing and chatting. as for MIRC, there are addons to firefox to enable you to connect to IRC.
