Thanks to the hard work of XEPC.org. By install their recovery disk, I can get 2.3G of free SSD space out of my EeePC 701.
It is a brilliant idea to compress the content stored at the system partition which is read-only in the default setting. Such method is not new and is very common among LiveCDs. I don't understand why Asus didn't implement of such method to better utilize the small SSD space at the beginning.
Luckily I read this article before buying the EeePC 900. If it really going to include Intel-Atom and built-in HSDPA module in Q3 2008. I better to stick with my current EeePC 701.
If the price of the next version is reasonable, than can have a better configuration. Otherwise, go back for a 900 and hopefully the price will be lowered
Yesterday when I lookup my backup disks, I found an archive containing some AsciiArt collected 10 years ago during my school life.
Digital media changes a lot during recent 10 years, from a simple picture/graphic, to MP3, to Mpeg4 ...etc but those AsciiArts still looks beautiful and attractive.
This piece is the one that I love very much, it was once my ".project" content in the unix days ......
Oh ... While I still thinking what can I do with my EeePC 701. The 2nd generation EeePC 900 will be available in HK the coming weekend. It contain 20G SSDHD, 1G RAM, 8.9" 1024x600 LCD, the price is HK$3998 ($1000 more than EeePC 701), seems attractive.
