The little computer that could ...

After reading the post on planetkde about KDE4 running smoothly on an aged machine, I was tempted to try it myself. Although the EeePC is far from old, its CPU/memory and graphics card are relatively low end.

I simply downloaded the latest KDE4 RC kubuntu live CD, and followed the instructions from the EeeUser wiki on how to make a "live" usb stick. A slight adjustment to the bios/boot order, installing the libgl1-mesa-dri package, and a short while later I was pleasantly surprised by the following:

This is cool but I don't

This is cool but I don't know if I could afford the difference in bootup and bloating vs the default linux installed.

Nice but how long does it

Nice but how long does it take to boot?

re: Nice but how long does it

Since it's from a USB stick, it takes a while. But the default EeePC takes about 17seconds. And KDE4 doesnt take very long, so if it's installed onto the Solid State Drive...hmm... 25-30 seconds I would guess. Gotta be realistic ;)

Freat news for Asus Eee PC

Freat news for Asus Eee PC users :)
Now as soon as i will get home will try to get up and runnig KDE 4 RC on my Asus Eee PC.

Task bar tooooo big

How come is the task bar soooo big???!

Re: Task Bar tooooo big

The developers say it will be smaller when KDE 4 is released to the wild.

Looks really nice.

I have been wanting to change desktop for quite a while now but KDE3 do not really attract me enough to abandon Gnome. KDE4 on the other hand looks very promising indeed. If its stable and delivers half of what i can tell by running the betas it will make a big splash. A new better app that uses less memory and cpu, thats something rarely seen :D

This is great!

I'm downloading it right away to try on my Thinkpad.
