1458251 2019-02-14 06:51:00 A neighbor brought me a white (ick) baby laptop - looks like an albino Asus Eee-PC, but not quite .

I got it all charged-up and the desktop is kinda like Ubuntu - huh? How do I get this thing to WiFi to my modem without using a wire?

How do I do a factory reset? I have no idea how to run this silly (eeeek!) thing . :badpc:

I have the Gebruikershandleiding Manual for it . < -----| Does anyone see a problem there?

1458252 2019-02-14 07:50:00 Depends on what model, the Asus Eee-PC came with either Windows XP / W7 Starter or ( a now very old) linux OS called Xandros. ( still got the CD's here somewhere) :)

If its the linux or looks like this video - Watch www.youtube.com

If wifi is only an option, man it must be old. :)
wirelessB anyway , you dont want that dragging down you wifi speeds (wifi speeds on other devices might drop a bit)

You'll also need to make sure you wifi access point is configured to allow ~wifi B~

I'm going to say: "Antique" is best to describe it. It has a nice desktop, is super slow like my old I386 IBM Stinktop and I turned THAT into a doorstop when I still had it.

I'd still be running Win95 if I could.
Just so fast on old hardware .

Yeah - I know.... maybe if we sprouted wings........


I think those days are either sadly gone and buried ........ or at the very least, fatally wounded.

I'm just noticing how F--A--S--T this Ubuntu Lite is! Wow - it really cranks!
