The Asus 4G Surf Linux Challenge: wattOS 10
I almost thought about not doing the EEEpc challenge anymore. I was playing a video game and tried using the Surf to look something up about the game. The Surf was so slow to work that I thought that it’s not really a functional computer anymore. Not only is it a 9-year-old computer, but my…

Trench’s Adventures in Linux: The Android Desktop Experience
The other day I found a Linux distro that is supposed to turn your PC into an Android device. Not only that but the distro had a variation just for EEE PCs. So I fired up the old 4G Surf and installed this particular distro. It installed fine and there was plenty of space left…

Zorin OS Core has been one of my favorite Linux distros since OS 5 Core. Recently they announced the release of Zorin OS 9 Core. Again, this is another distro that I can’t say enough good things about. OS 9 Core is based on Ubuntu 14.04 so it should be supported for a long time.…
