EeePc Initial Reactions
Last Friday i bought an EeePc for my brother. I have heard a lot about this little master, or rather monster, but i had to see it for myself, what it could really do?
Got it home and the first thing i do, hook it on to the wifi – a plus over there. Then it was time for some serious browsing. Did that and the only thing that i found a bit difficult was typing. C’mon the entire keypad fits in my palm and how am i supposed to type. But still again a plus. One of the things that i need to do from a usability point of view, for any Linux box, is to play movies. Plugged in my thumb-drive and double clicked a movie. Cool! just played it just like that, without any problem.
So far EeePc has impressed me in more ways than most girls have ever done. But word of caution, if u r a linux junkie who likes to get your hands dirty by doing – ./configure; make; make install- then EeePc is not the one for you. Coz it has everything that you need for a, err say and over sized mobile with out the calling facility. (one of the reasons why i goes to my brother 
)
My initial reactions with EeePc has been captured with the inbuilt cam like this -
Here are somethings that i have tried out on EeePc -
- Locate the Terminal (this is fun, coz u really need to know linux like your backyard to locate this)
- Write a “Hello World” Python program (this was written at Barcamp Bangalore 8 )
