The “default” Xandros distribution installed in eeePc is quite good but there are some lack.

For example there aren’t installed  many driver for common printer. In my case, the Samsung ML-1520 (it’s a Laser Printer) didn’t works even it’s recognized correctly (splix driver arent’t installed…).

A simple solution it’s to install the Unified Linux Driver offered directly by Samsung. Just extract the tar.gz, run ./autorun and follow the wizard.

Because Open Source is better than closed source software

Great italian article about Neelie Kroes and her talk about Open Source in the European Union.
The focus is on the formats interoperability (for example, ODF actually is the only ISO standard implemented and working correctly for the documents) and the freedom of choice.

Because Our Passion is greater than money of Microsoft or other big software companies.
