Farewell EeePc

There has not been no active work on this blog for a few months now, mainly due to University work.

I have since sold the EeePc and brought the HP Mininote 2133, which for me has much better specs and a bigger keyboard.

If you do own a EEE, for maximum performance from the wonderful machine I would suggest:
*If using the default linux operating system, unlock the full adv mode - it is so much better.

*For Windows XP users, make sure you Nlite the install and search for the VGA scaling driver. This makes webpages inparticular look so much better. Don't forget useful applications: Firefox, VLC Player, Skype, LogMeIn to name a few!

*Anyone into computer security, hacking, network testing etc - install Backtrack 3 onto a SD card or removable media. This literally has almost every security tool you could need.

The EEE is great if you want to VNC into a home or office computer, there is a free version available (LogMeIn), this is great if you want to quickly look something up or work on a document on another computer away from home/office. I used this application via the EEE wireless to shut down any computers in the house at night before bed.

I am very pleased with the HP 2133 but will most probably eventually get another EEE when even cheaper.
