I just got it installed this morning and while I have not used it heavily yet, I have run everything I normally do on it for a good part of the day. Everything works so far. I did get a bad battery alert - so that is not working correctly, which for me is only a minor annoyance.
Nevertheless, I have run audio, video and Firefox with excellent results. The install from an ISO CD went without a hitch. Everything works so far! This is a far cry from my experience with the EEEPclinuxOs which has a difficult to understand installation procedure. The Ubuntu install on the other hand is a snap.
The installed software, Open Office, Firefox, Totem, Pidgin, work without problems. I installed Amarok and bingo my music plays beautifully. Open Office runs great - so far so good. Wifi was easy to set up. I simply clicked on the Network icon in the panel where upon I saw four active wireless networks, I clicked on mine put in the WEP key info and I was up and running. No fuss no muss! Ethernet hardwire connection is humming away.
Again, this is only a one day overview of a fresh installation. But for those of you who like Hardy Heron, it is worth a try. I am anxious to see of everyone else has a similar experience to mine.
The team that put this package together did a marvelous job on all of the basics. Only time will tell if my one day experience extends into a stable, reliable version for the EeePC. |
