Installing Mandriva 2008.1 on the ASUS Eee PC
This week’s TechMail is entitled Installing Mandriva 2008.1 on the ASUS Eee PC, which, as the name implies, discusses Mandriva 2008.1 on the ASUS Eee PC.
When I wrote it, I had installed Mandriva onto an SDHC card, but I’ve since replaced Xandros with Mandriva on the SSD and it works exceptionally well.

Back in April, I also installed MDV 2008.1 on my eeePC 701. I have /usr mounted to an 8GB SSD card installed in the reader and the rest on the internal 4GB SDHC.
Mandriva runs wonderfully and everything works better than I could have imagined. I think ASUS would have been wise to go to Mandriva to develop their eeePC’s default OS, rather than Xandros.

Yeah, Mandriva is working great on mine. No complaints whatsoever. I think some areas in Xandros are better (like the power management), but Mandriva’s is working and maybe not as elegant, but good enough for me, and in every other area it surpasses Xandros for sure.
