EeeOS - The Eee Linux OS

Welcome to Eee Linux OS!

EeeOS is designed to be a minimalistic Custom Debian Distribution that provides a base system (drivers,system tools,Xorg) and nothing more. The idea behind such a release is so that users of Eee Linux OS can configure and build their own Eee experience (Eeexperience?). While systems like Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse and Xandros are all amazing in their own right, they often come pre-configured and with a lot of bloat. Some power users prefer to have complete control over their systems and it is with these users in mind that Eee OS was created.

EeeOS Strengths

  • Minimalist design. This helps save space on the smaller SSD in the EeePC
  • No unneeded software. You decide what goes into your system
  • Strong Debian base. EeeOS is not a fork, so it is completely compatible with Debian.. because it is Debian!
  • Runs from the Eee's internal SSD, USB Stick or SD Card

EeeOS is not going to...

  • become Ubuntu. Linux knowledge is needed
  • do everything for you "out of the box".
  • make every little task easy and simple with a GUI
  • become a fork of Debian. The only non-Debian packages are used for Eee hardware.
  • take the power out of your hands
