ASUS ee pc

Posted by Karen Riding at June 29. 2008

I have recently moved to a new school (I am a teacher) where there is no use of Linux whatsoever. We are planning to give every year 7 a mobile device to connect wirelessly at school and to be used at home. My current preference is the Asus ee pc. I particularly like the fact that it uses open source software partly to open the minds of our students but also to reduce the £16000 bill we pay annually to Microsoft. My new technicians can't make the Asus remember the wireless connection at school or enable it to log on students so they can save to their home area on the server at school. A friend of mine, who loves Linux, says it is because the version of Linux on the Asus doesn't recognise users but a different version would. I am in the North West of England and would like some help to get this project off the ground. If the project was successful we would then roll the program out to other years too! The current suggestions is to wait for the more expensive version of the Asus, which runs Windows XP, to come out. Yes they are only £40 more but when you are buying 100 that is a lot more spend.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I would suggest, signing up to the Ubuntu-UK mailing list, and asking them for help. I know a number of them are using Eee PCs.
