I purchased this book to learn more about the Linux OS than I have learned via Web Forums and trial and error (I've reset the OS several times, thus losing the changes I've made to the EeePC and requiring me to redo those changes - learning by rote). The reviews helped me know that although some reference was made to the Win XP OS, the Linux OS was covered in greater detail. This is true. I'm 3/4 way through the book and have picked up a few tips and refreshed myself on the basic operation of the EeePC (better than the EeePC ops manual). Also the first 17 chapters dealt with how to do things in the Simple Desktop mode and I've been on the Advance Desktop for most of the past year. The last few chapters (18 - 23 plus 2 bonus chapters) get into the Advance Desktop features, use of the Command Line, customizing the simpleui.rc file, using TweakEEE and Pimpmyeee.sh (all of which I've read about on Web Forums), as well as troubleshooting tips, internet resources, and two bonus chapters dealing with other Linux Distros and Power saving tips. These last few chapters are why I purchased this book. Over all I feel this to be a good purchase and I have found the layout of the book to be easy to follow and understand. It is nice to have a easily understood reference manual sitting beside my EeePC as I make desired changes to the PC. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Out of date!!!! *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2010* In November, 2008, I purchased an ASUS Eee PC 900 8.9-Inch Netbook (Intel Mobile Processor, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB Solid State Drive, Linux, 4 Cell Battery) Pearl White. Until a few weeks ago, it sat unopened in the shipping box. With both relatively new desktop and laptops, with Vista, then Windows 7 OS, I just didn't have the desire to deal with the eee900 and its Linux OS. But, I started to get the urge to buy an IPad or Android clone tablet. Then I thought, "Hey, Steve, maybe the eee900 will do the trick?" I bought this book, took out the eee900, and soon realized that the computer had insufficient Ram and the Linux and its preloaded programs were terribly out of date, particularly its versions of OpenOffice and Mozilla Firefox. So, I had Ram added, and switched out the 16G SSD for a 64g, then had the SSD wiped and loaded with Fuduntu and added both a 16 GB SDHC memory card, which I already owned, and a 32 GB USB flash drive that I picked up for under $40.00. I'd certainly recommend not bothering with this book. Upgrade your RAM, SSD and OS and much of the book's contents will be inapplicable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars 5 star manual *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2009* RTFM - or read the f***** manual - is a crucial concept for any computer wizzard. The problem is that most manuals are unclear, impractical or simply deadly boring dull. The good news is that Joel McNamara has written an exceptional manual for the wee Asus Eee PC. Buy this book so you can easily get the most out of your light-weight companion. You will even learn how to power it by using the sun or even your own body energy. Learn how it works in a Linux and a Windows XP environment. And compare. Get the hang of fixing many bugs yourself. Unless you want to start from scratch like the author was forced to in 1980.One final remark: the possibilities of Google Apps remained somewhat under exposed. I stick to the 5 stars though. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/12786791-asus-eee-pc-for-dummies-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/12786791-asus-eee-pc-for-dummies-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
