Linux on the MiniNote.

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

It’s been quite an eventful week as far as linux on the mini-note is concerned, violajack reports that “3d effects” works on suse linux which has been confirmed by others and progress has been made on getting ubuntu 8.04 to work correctly it’s variants should work using a similar if not identical method thanks to kaffeboy who wrote an article on the wiki about this, and other forum members for looking into this. A day-zero recovery image is available to owners of the hp2133 Thanks to MikeZ and other posters on the netbookuser.com forums for this. A Gentoo installation disk/live cd which supports the mininote will soon be released(I’m assuming that it supports the wireless device to allow downloading of stage tarballs, etc? more to come on this). Without things like fastinit and the simpleui (simple mode) offered by the EEEPC their is nothing keeping you from trying other distros on the miniunote and the HDD also allows lots of room for dual boot options.
