Well folks — it’s official. The Everex / Packard Bell / FIC Nanobook / Cloudbook / CE260 (phew) that we recently got some face time with is actually coming Stateside… to Wal-Mart. That’s right, the Eee crown-threatener will be available on January 25th of this year, featuring a 1.2GHz VIA C7-M CPU, 512MB of RAM, a 30GB hard drive, and a 800 x 480 display for the extra-affordable price of $399. The system will be sporting Everex’s gOS Rocket, the Google-ified version of Ubuntu which powers the company’s cheapo desktop. Watch your back, front, and sides, ASUS.

Tracker4 Comments

Ok well you all know me [Tracker] and you know that I have to have teamspeak where ever I go. Well the EeePc has a built in mic and teamspeak makes a client for linux so I thought that this should not be that hard. Well I soon found out that I was wrong. As it turns out TeamSpeak did not want to get along with my new “HackTop” and would not install at all using the installer. So I wrote up this post so that anyone that is having a problem with this can fix it 😀

*Note* This is under linux only

Apps gone portable

Thanks to jump drives being so small and offering such a large ammount of space now you can take all your apps with you. From Firefox portable so you can use your own web browser with your bookmarks and passwords ready to go. To Thunderbird so that you can take your emails with you and check them where ever you go. It also includes some useful publishing applications like openoffice.org’s office suite.

 

You can also add your own programs as well as store pictures music and other docs on the drive and access them from one kool looking menu…This is a must have for people that need there programs on the go. Forum Link *demo video on the forums*

 

Get the software and addon programs from http://portableapps.com

 

[EDIT] Just forgot to add on that this is 100% free and opensource…So have fun 😀
