It&#8217;s a version of Ubuntu for netbooks called Easy Peasy. It&#8217;s more meant for the EEEPC, but seems to be working just as well for my netbook. <\/p>\n<p \/>I sometimes get a little tired of the &#8220;kiddie&#8221; interface of the Aspire One OS, which is based on Linpus and does look a bit candy store.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class='p_embed p_image_embed'>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Media_httpbloglaptopm_sejti\" height=\"234\" src=\"http:\/\/larelle.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/04\/media_httpbloglaptopm_sejti-scaled500.png?w=300\" width=\"400\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p \/>It starts up like lightening, but adding software (even with an IT pro at your side) can be a bit of a bum. The first thing I loved about the Ubuntu version was fab games! I&#8217;m easily pleased!! lol<\/p>\n<p \/>I like the look if it. The desktop is still not conventional, but at least it doesn&#8217;t look like it&#8217;s aimed at a 8 year old. <\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class='p_embed p_image_embed'>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Media_http4bpblogspot_zenvf\" height=\"234\" src=\"http:\/\/larelle.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/04\/media_http4bpblogspot_zenvf-scaled500.png?w=300\" width=\"400\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p \/>The other part I initially liked was being able to install Adobe Air and use TweetDeck for twitter, thinking that I&#8217;d LOVE to use TweetDeck, as everyone else seems to use it. But I don&#8217;t really get on with that. I&#8217;ve got Spotify installed on here, and I can see thing attached to Wine in a clearer way too. <\/p>\n<p \/>Pros and cons, pros and cons. Takes a while for the desktop to be up and running and it&#8217;s changed my keyboard around slightly, so my quotation makes are where my @ symbol is, and vice versa. Will just take a little brain retrain. <\/p>\n<p \/>It&#8217;s not on permanently yet and I will make sure I give it some more testing before I decide to install fully. I&#8217;ll keep you informed.<\/p>\n<p \/>Update: 10pm<\/p>\n<p \/>I&#8217;ve installed it fully on the system. Had a few little teething probs. After it seemingly being the same, my keyboard (since doing some system updates) has been sorted and my @ and &#8220;&#8216;s are in the right place again. Installed Spotify again, but was getting digital interference\/cut-outs, which was making me think &#8220;uh oh! Maybe I rushed the install&#8221;. But all it required was a small change to the Wine audio settings. A click there and an unclick there and it was sorted, and the sound is now crystal. <\/p>\n<p \/>So far, so good. I&#8217;m really getting into Easy Peasy version Ubuntu.<br \/>For more info check the Easy Peasy wiki page by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Easy_peasy\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"posterous_download_image\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/3979208399727476335-131417206338991161?l=lozzyr.blogspot.com\" height=\"1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve spent the last 24 hours using a different version of Linux on my netbook that runs &#8220;live&#8221; from an SD card.
