Installing AntiX on an Asus eeePC from 2007, now in 2025. AntiX install was much smoother than a few years ago. Just followed the tutorial on their website.https://antixlinux.com/ I didn't even have wifi issues. Just remember to connect to wifi during live boot sesh and check 'save live' during install. Not exactly sure what It can do. Maybe some light writing and offline use? Hook it up to an external HD for backups? A WIX server?
What do you do with your old netbooks?
"you should get a faster laptop to make music"
no. you should get a slower laptop
#WhatsMissing: A simple, #FrutigerAero-themed, #LowDPI-compatible #Linux #distro / #desktop!
- Because for #TechIlliterates, #Xandros on the #EeePC was "peak #LinuxDesktop"!
And modern-day #distros really need to reconsider that!
Continued thread
After the bootloader fix it works on the Eee PC 701

@Linux @BrodieOnLinux @rejzor the best #Linux experience any #distro delivered was the #EeePC 701 4G's custom #Xandros Desktop.
- Nothing to this day comes close in terms of "user friendlyness" aiming at "#TechIlliterates".
It's basically peak #FrutigerAero and it ran off 256MB RAM!
- We really could taka a page from it's book!

@notthatdelta reminds me that I need to work on @OS1337 and make a image for the #EeePC701-4G...
Für die Kinder den #eeePC aus dem Gerümpel gefischt. Bootet. Ist ist #Ubuntu 11.10 drauf 
Hardware: Intel Atom N270 1,16GHz, 1Gb RAM, 14,8 GB SSD
Gibt's was aktuelles, was da halbwegs flüssig drauf läuft?
Ist das schon #retrocomputing ?
Mit dem Ding hab ich damals™ mobil getwittert, da ich mir das Modell mit SIM-Slot gegönnt hatte

@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!
@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!
- I know why they did it, as a closed aluminium pan aka. "#lunchbox" design is easier to fabricate, but I'd rather some #ToolfreeSwappableBattery which are IMHO of more practicality than having the ability to swap out every port.
Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.
- I mean, I understand they won't make space for a underslung #Dock, a #Slimline - #ODD or god forbid #ExpressCard, and in terms of #tech I'd welcome #Thunderbolt over #OCuLink, but there's a reason I've not canceled the #NUCbook and if I didn't have to buy/procure #COTS products I'd likely just buy a #Pi500 with a #Powerbank and screen slapped on...
That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...
- I just wished #FrameworkLaptop and Fairphone were just refusing the #Enshittification trend entirely, cuz I'd rather have a #Toughbook-Style device made out of #Thinkpadnium or even better #Nokianite than some fancy Aluminium stuff if that makes it more #repairable, #upradeable and espechally doesn't result in a #Downgrade.
Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.
- The only reason I'm not daily driving my #P11Z anymore is because until I got @OS1337 into a useable state it's hardware, which was already #LowEnd at launch, can barely run @bunsenlabs and thus is not an option for #DailyDriving #Linux #Desktop workflows anyways...
I feel this video by Posy about the design of his first laptop, because just as for me, it was a #netbook. Although I had an Asus #EeePC. I wrote my first paid websites on that machine. And its high portability served me well during a tumultuous period of my life.

@OpenComputeDesign same with many other things.
#GluedInBatteries instead of #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries are just an #excuse for #AntiRepairDesign. points at #Vaio #P11Z & #Fairphone #FP3plus
#SolderedDownRAM & #SolderedDownSSDs were never valid outside #EmbeddedDevices that need to survive harsh envoirments. points at a rugged, ATEX-certified PTT radio for industrial plants
#Repairability saves lives! points at Medical Devices
Want to have more #battery #runtime? We have solutions for that for decades. points at #EeePC and a tool-free, swappable, #aftermarket, high-capavity battery
Personally I'm so pissed off amidst the ongoing #Enshittification that I really need to get the #NUCbook off the ground before my #X230tablet dies.

- Tho if I had to choose a #Laptop right now that I can buy in stores I'd pick the @frameworkcomputer / #Framework13 hands-down because it's (sadly!) the by far best #Notebook in terms of #repairability & #maintainability!

Asus startet den Verkauf des Eee-PC (PCGH-Retro, 16. Oktober)
Ich hatte den EeePC 1000H mit XP. Das kleine Display war der größte Knackpunkt. 1024 x 600 war nicht so prall.

@ActionRetro but I guess that's because the #EeePC is way too easy to make useable...
Continued thread
Maybe if someone cares and has one of those they can gladly work out the kinks and i.e. buind @OS1337 for it.

@fuchsiii @thelinuxcast Yeah, you have like a 10240x2550 desktop that already pegs it's GPU to 75% VRAM useage..
Also I think smaller & slimmer #VerticalTabs are even screenspace-saving on low-res screens like an #EeePC...

Also #KrazyKen made a video looking at the #EeePC:

@ActionRetro I remember these being sold in #Germany at the remnants of #walmart Germany that were known as real,-...

They were like €99 and later €49 and I was close to buying one but at that time I wasn't shure if I could get a different OS to run on it and frankly at that time the #EeePC was out already and the way better machine...
I wounder if someone has an #EeePC / #EeePC701 4G or 2G Surf to part with...
Not for #nostalgia but as minimum target machine for @OS1337 ...
