[HLUG] The Asus Eee: How Close Did the World Come to a Linux Desktop? | Linux Journal

[Julian Robbins]

Hi folks

Interesting article on the first (and only) time so far that Linux  took
over in the Desktop

www.linuxjournal.com/content/asus-eee-how-close-did-world-come-linux-desktop

via Linux News ( https://goo.gl/Xa2mzf )

I didn't have an asus eee pc I had a another British make (Viglen?) that
annoyingly relied on proprietary modules for the display and WiFi.

It never really worked that well with the fully open source drivers, but it
was a sign of things to come for tablets and Chromebooks
