Hacking Your Eee PC

If you were nice all year long and your stocking is filled with an ASUS Eee PC on Christmas morning, then you are in luck. The “elves” over at EeeUser.com have been filling their server space with lots of hardware hacks, software mods, and user tips for this lithe Linux laptop. Case in point, two terrific posts:

• 16Gb & Bluetooth Mod Complete by Johnx
  
• Load OSX 10.5 Leopard on the eeePC by Dan
  

That's right. With a little work, you can quadruple your EeePC's flash storage, add bluetooth, or turn it into that ultraportable Mac Apple has yet to develop (even though Leopard is probably a little poky on the Eee, reports are coming in that OS X 10.4 is quite usable). Watch How 2.0 for an in-depth guide to even more EeePC hacks coming soon. —Dave Prochnow
