As I had written about in the past, I am the proud owner of an EeePC 900 since December 2008. One of the things that was bugging me all that time was that it had to run on Windows. Frankly, I couldn't find a good reason to do so, as for the most part I was using Firefox, Skype and OpenOffice, all available under Linux. That, and it was extremely time-consuming waiting for that Windows XP to start up. So, I decided to install Linux on it.
Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring Edition is out since about two weeks. This version is fully compatible with all EeePC's right out of the box! No kernel tweaking, no nasty workarounds, no hunting down packages. It's almost 100% usable right from the start. May I ask for cheese?
Disclaimer: Everything I write in this article is my personal experience installing and using Mandriva Linux 2009 Spring on my EeePC 900. Your mileage may vary. There are no warranties. In other words, if you toast your hardware it's your fault. OK, I can't imagine how this could possibly happen, but you never know...
