     * Uses Ubuntu Netbook Remix menu, adjusted for netbooks with small screens.
     * Battery life is much longer with eee-control.

    Leeenux compared to other Operating Systems

    (Not intended to diminish any operating systems. They are all great in their own way,

    and this comparison was made only by how they work on Asus eee 701G, the price and liberty)

     * Supperior in features and apps compared to Xandros.
     * No need to configure hardware, like in Ubuntu UNR. Also its lighter.
     * Without bloating and propriatery apps like EasyPeasy. Much lighter, EP takes up to 3.5GB when installed.
     * Better experience than Windows XP. Not to mention liberty or price.
     * Less space consuming, much faster and without limitations compared to Win7 for netbooks. Battery life too.

    · It is FREE! Liberty means a lot, and there is no propriatery software nor drivers included in this distribution.
    · EasyPeasy is not free. Its only free of charge, but contains lots of propriatery software. Why propriatery software is BAD, you can find out on many websites.
