Mandriva Flash 2008.1 on ASUS Eee PC 900

,----[ Quote ]
| After some three months of keeping the default Xandros installation on my
| ASUS Eee PC, it was time for a change. While the Eee PC variant of Xandros
| Desktop is an extremely well-designed and an excellent entry-level Linux for
| anyone looking for basic Internet and computing functionality, it's unlikely
| that it would satisfy an average computer geek for too long. Sooner or later
| its limitations in terms of power computing and software installation, not to
| mention the "don't leave it alone" desire to tinker with any new toy, would
| likely see many of these netbooks' flash drives being wiped clean, making
| room for a new, more powerful operating system.

Mandriva leaps into the netbook market with the GDium

,----[ Quote ]
| Lately it's hard to avoid the buzz about netbooks - the small, cheap laptop
| systems that were popularized by the Asus Eee PC (which, of course, Mandriva
| Linux 2008 Spring supports very well). Many in the community have asked if
| Mandriva is going to get directly involved in this market. Well, the answer
| is yes! Mandriva is providing the innovative operating system for the
| upcoming GDium netbook system, produced by Emtec.
