ASUS Eee Linux PC dumps on Windows
Micro Linux laptop maker, ASUS, have released an open source software developer’s kit – or SDK – for their popular ultraportable, the Eee. Now the Eee is yours to command. Heck, you don’t even need an Eee; the SDK includes a VMWare image dump letting Windows users see just what all the fuss is about. Here’s how to do it.
Technically, the software development kit is for ASUS’ Xandros derivatives, but in practice this is only the Eee at this time. The kit includes software and documentation including necessary tools and libraries, allowing users to write their own applications which run on the Launcher – otherwise known as “Simple mode” on the ASUS Eee.
Nicely, there’s a VMWare image too. This means you can emulate the Eee within a VMWare virtual machine. You can do this on a Linux host or even a Windows one, too, if you wish. Or any other platform where VMWare is available. So, that’s right, you can run the ASUS Eee Linux PC image dump on Windows.
ASUS have uploaded the SDK to SourceForge and you can download it from there. It’s a great move by ASUS to host the project on SourceForge; this demonstrates an understanding of and commitment to the open source ideals of Linux, but also means that SourceForge’s range of features is available.
