5 days have past since I have installed Easy Peasy 1.6 on my Eee Pc 4G 701, and it looks like everything is working as it should "out of the box". Skype connectivity with the on-board camera and sound recognition, smooth touchpad movement, and working LAN/WLAN connectivity, A great improvement from Easy Peasy 1.5 which performance I did not consider as satisfactory. Overall, I give it a "Very Good" with a tendency leaning towards "excellent". There is minor graphical appearance issue during start-up and shut-down, (weird messages) which doesn't interfere with the general performance of Easy Peasy 1.6, however, it simply doesn't make it look absolutely perfect. Would be great if those messages could be hidden, but perhaps I'm just way too demanding. |

I'm a newbie to most computer systems, and received a eeepc701 4gb surf with the known interrace. I finally updated to ep 1.5 and have not looked back since. I found as a noob that installation was not so straightforeward as described, I ended asking my husband to help me out in the end. (unetbootin not good on linux, what a surprise..having to use a windows computer to get a linux interface ..plus other things) the interface is stable as far as I can see, there are a few things such as alarm sounds that work when they want to, but for what I do , I am adaptable and don't lose any sleep on this. I don't hack much either, as it is time consuming to find out how to do them(again, alll those litle details that are never described, but that are oh so important), I work long hours and come home to a dirty house, so...But on the whole, I really like it, and recommend it |

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. |
