Taking a load off our minds

Got me an Eee PC

January 20th, 2008 by allonby

So I picked up an EeePC recently and i have to say, I fucking love this thing.

Does everything I need, and it’s ultra portable. Comes with an Easy mode menu thing that seems to work just fine for what i use it for, which is mostly firefox and msn. Anything more complex and i’m just a ctrl-alt-t away from a terminal and happy linux land.

I’ve been thinking though, this would work really well as a mobile music platform, you know, just something to toss ideas together on, drum loops, synth lines, etc…. I’ve got hydrogen running on it with a bunch of drumkits and thats working fine, but I’m thinking I might wanna pickup a 2gig SODIMM and install something like studio64 or Ubuntu Studio on here… we’ll see how it goes.

    I’m a Linux newbie but have had my Eee since mid December. I’d love to try Hydrogen out on it but have no idea how to install it! Is there any chance you can give me a rough guide on how to do it?

    TIA

    a rough guide?! hell yeah!

    it will vary depending what you’ve done to the eee so far… I’ll write up a post and send you an email when it’s done.

    woot woot
