From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just put DSL2024 on mine a few months ago, it works okay lol. Can't do much more than use the terminal or edit text but it's pretty fun to use the old hardware again. My only complaint is the zero key sticks.

They were nice little machines, but I don't miss the keyboard.

Keyboard was better than my phone soft keyboard.

I gave it up due to the processor. I think it only had one core?

At first! The earliest Eee PC had an Atom N270, but I upgraded to one with an Atom 330 later. Two cores, baby!

Even the processor (I had the luck of 64bit) was ok for it's time with great battery life of up to 12 hours. But the lack of disk space and RAM (only 2GB) sadly prevented further updates.

I don't know why we can't squeeze 64 GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD in the same form factor today :(
