Ok, so my family bought me a 900/Linux – this does not have the built in webcam. I cannot find the code to use for my Logitech webcam for notebooks. Any advice?

Hello Fellows! I got an Asus eee PC 900 as a gift for Christmas and I erased the Xandros and installed Ubuntu-eee 8.4.1 in the 4 GB partition, I moved /home to the 16GB partition and EVERYTHING is working flawlessly! My Printer, Samsung ML-1610 was detected right away, Wow! this is a nice machine, I really like it!

Hi, I’m struggling to set a printer up to two eeepc’s with linux. I have bought a 900 and a 900a and have a lexmark printer x1270. The pc’s recognise that the printer is connected but the printer name does not appear on the list to install. I guess I need to buy a nw printer can anyone reccomend a printer that will work with linux on the eee pc 900?

HELP!! Have just bought one and can’t get the wireless to connect. It recognises my router but when I try to connect it sticks on ‘pending’.

Any ideas? Thanks……….Joan

I’ll re’ask the question MAX asked.

“Thanx for this good review.
But two more questions: You mentioned installing the DDR2-667 RAM, but how much RAM do you think the eeepc 900 can handle; and is it running at 667 or still 400 (FSB)?”

and my new question….

With the same sized RAM DDR2-400/667 what would be the difference in FPS for glxgears.

Great review ^_^ although you neglected to mention the two finger click… When used in Firefox, it will open a link in a new tab… having only got my 900 yesterday not sure what else i can do with it just yet!

If you use Win XP with eee900, forget about updating Windows – 4 Gb overfills almost at the first automatic update. I had to cut off all Windows updating functionality to avoid problems with the disk space. It is really a nuisance and the major drawback of eee900 that only 4 Gb are allotted for the system files and 8 Gb for the rest, and not vice versa.

However, it turns out that my 900 with Winows XP is much less noisy than 701 that I had used before. Some insignificant noise in 900 is only detectable when I stick my ear to the keyboard, even after several hours of work. The 701 started buzzing after 10 minutes of work on battery.
