Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron was released a few days ago, and came out, as always, in many flavours. We tried Kubuntu, the Ubuntu variant with a KDE4 desktop.

Not in my intention to raise the debate, but I have been a KDE user over the years with Mandrake. My production laptop has mandriva and pclinuxos alongside, so I was very curious to test an adaptation of pclinuxos for the eee: eeepclinuxos.

The EEE PC comes with a linux distribution. If you never tried an open source OS, you don’t have to be afraid: the EEE is really easy to use and intuitive. The user interface is divided into 5 tabs: Internet, Work, Learn, Multimedia, Settings, Favourite. Each tab is associated with corresponding programs.

We will present the EEE PC 4G’s hardware and construction in this review.

Unboxing the EEE PC
The EEE PC box picture gives immediatly a well deserved impression of smallness, as you can see in the picture below compared to a Nokia 3250.
