Geek Tested:

Intel's Moblin OS Demoed On Eee Keyboard PC

Posted 06/16/09 at 04:07:46 PM by Andy Salisbury

In the past, Asus’ Eee Keyboard was only shown off running versions of Windows XP, but in a more recent demo at Computex, the low-profile PC was shown off running Intel’s Moblin OS.

While XP seemed like a nice choice for the keyboard PC, sticking with something simple (and Linux based) seems even better, given that this machine will be ideal for surfing the net from your couch.

There’s been no official word if this will come as an option for the Eee Keyboard, but there’s little doubt that we’ll find out in the coming weeks.

Can any one say Radio Shack Color Computer (circa early to mid 80's)?

Except back then we were smart enough to put the screen accross the top of the keyboard. But then this is cheaper just knock out the number pad and slap in an lcd and people will buy it without thinking about ergonomics.

If you can't dazzel em with Brilliance, baffle em with bull puckey. (From the tome; Murphy's Law, Annex 5, Smooth Recoveries)
