Modifying the OS of eeePC


This is very fun. Much fun than when I first tried UBUNTU. I now have modified the ASUS eeePC Easy Mode to the Advanced Mode (desktop).


The EASY Mode is the default screen of the ASUS eeePC. I understand ASUS for doing this, to stick to the gizmo's motto EASY to work, EASY to Learn, EASY to Play.
Anyone who has used a mobile phone will find the icon based user interface of the eeePC, very useful. But for serious users, this is a bit boring. They want more usability. Thus, being Linux the base architecture of this operating system, in just a few days, users now have figured out how to transform the icon-based EASY MODE to the typical desktop ADVANCED MODE. Much more, users can shift from one user interface to another.


I warn you though, it's not that simple and some newbies have "broken" their units (which was recovered simply by pressing and holding F9 after pressing the power button), doing the process. Although just like me, when the process is successful, there is joy felt all throughout (what a geek nyahahaha).

For detailed instructions on how to do it, just click here.
