"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." (Robert A. Heinlein)

Test drive: Kubuntu 11.04 on the EEEPC 900

Sunday, May 22nd, 2011

 

May be I should stop live-testing distribution to start doing something more useful, but as my netbook remix (10.04) installation is getting older I’m looking for a proper replacement of the user interface I’m most addicted. So I couldn’t resist not to load an SD card with the latest Kubuntu (KDE based Ubuntu version) release to give it a test on the EEEPC 900. I downloaded so Kubuntu disk image and prepared a bootable SD, as usual, with Ubuntu bootable disk creation tool.

 

First impressions

 

After boot Kubuntu starts with its “Plasma” interface and welcomes you with the application browser, here called “Search and launch”.
