Get the CloudBook experience... on an Asus Eee PC

Cimg0669tmThe Everex CloudBook sub-notebook might be delayed, but if you want the gOS experience it will offer, why not take a CloudBook competitor and load it up? The installation steps appear to be fairly straightforward for the Asus Eee PC based on this list at Cheap Linux Ultramobile PCs, or CLUMPC for short.

You'll of course need the latest gOS build and Ubuntu drivers for Asus Eee PC if you want your WiFi to work. Once you're installed and configured, you can close your eyes and pretend your Eee is a CloudBook since the physical differences are pretty minimal.
