They require air pressure to keep the heads precisely over the platters. Most hard drives don’t work over 10,000 ft.

NASA and the military have used flash drives for years.

There is little information to some mis-information about solid state flash for operating systems around various Linux web sites. Running Eeeebuntu 2.0 off the 16 GB Transcend SDHC Cardįirst some flash storage discussion. So far Eeebuntu 2.0 is the BEST Linux distro I’ve tried on the Aspire One, especially the rock solid WiFI operation.

I even did a update via the Update Manager after enabling all Ubuntu Intrepid repositories and Mediabuntu, without a problem.

I have 47% of the 16 GB SDHC card (a bootable install … I’ll get to that) filled with all my favorite applications thanks to the Ubuntu Intrepid repositories. Move the mouse to the lower screen to make the AWN manager visible (default setting) and click on your particular running application icon. The AWN interface is ok being very usable providing a different way to switch work spaces and running applications. (I have WICD on another Ubuntu 8.10 base install on a boot-able USB stick I’ve used a few months.) This may be related to the pinned kernel and WiFI modules. Unfortunately I could not do a dpkg force install of WICD, ( ) which I use at work, to replace the network manager. The custom kernel is “apt pinned” in that normal Ubuntu updates, will not break it. Even Ndiswrapper never worked good for me. I’ve encountered connections issues and drifting signal levels with other distributions and came the closest by compiling the MadWiFI () modules myself in a base Ubuntu 8.041 installation. The Atheros WiFI support is the best it’s ever been on the Aspire One. The NBR Eeebuntu Desktop featuring Netbook Remix. Here’s the Eeebuntu 2.0 Base default desktop: Preferences are easily modified using the System / Control Center utilities. Eeebuntu is available in three flavors: A Standard Version which has the Mac-like AWN manager installed A Netbook Version with the Netbook Remix front end and a Base version minus the specific EeePc utilities and major applications. It also works great on the Aspire One which shares the same Intel Atom processor. It uses the custom Array kernel () optimized for the EeePCs.

Gnome interfaced Eeebuntu is designed for the Asus EeePC series based on Ubuntu 8.10. Here’s a capture of my Eeebuntu desktop on the Aspire One. I also needed to disable the EeePC temperature sensors services as they didn’t work on the Aspire One. Once running, I had to select 160 x 120 resolution for the webcam to work (in the Cheese application) and to have the HDA Intel sound be Alsa for the microphone to work correctly. I used a CD/DVD drive with a USB-IDE/SATA adapter. Installing Eeebuntu 2.0 is just like any typical Ubuntu install. I tried the ‘Standard’ and ‘NBR’Â versions first with live CDs. Finding the reports in the forum sounded good for the Eeebuntu 2.0 release on the Acer One.

The Aspire One works nicely with many Linux distributions, but there had been hardware issues in particular the Atheros WiFI support. and adventures with the grub boot loader) The Acer Aspire One BIOS does not ‘see’ the card, so you can’t boot from it using the startup key (More on the SDHC boot up further in this article). The goal was of multi-boot installations of Ubuntu, with one install specifically loaded with the tools I use at work.

I discovered Eeebuntu while searching for information on how to boot and run Linux off a SDHC card. I initially ran Ubuntu 8.041 with the /home partition on the 16 GB SDHC card. The pre-installed Linux Linpus just wasn’t what I needed since I use many networking tools at work and at home. To supplement storage space with the initial purchase of the Aspire One (8 GB SSD version), I bought a 16 GB Transcend TS16GBSDHC6 card that integrates nicely into the left card slot.
