Why we Chose LinuxMint
I moved away from windows becuase of the license cost involved. Ubuntu was out of choice as the unity interface sucks. We chose Linux Mint because it looks like windows and have a better driver support.
As usual when we choose the latest version and it was linux-mint 14.1
Asus eeepc 1015cx comes without an optical drive. so the first requirement is to make a bootable USB.
If you have a linux pc it is as simple as follows:
dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdb oflag=direct bs=1048576
If you donot have linux pc you can use plenty of tools available for windows OS.
But linuxmint 14.1 with this 1015cx has some issue with graphics and it does not give up a gui
so we changed to linuxmint 13.
Then installation was easy. Even it took wireless drivers without any problem. But display drivers were at stake.
This was fixed by
apt-cache search cedarview
it listed 3 packages of cederview
apt-get install (all three packages)
viola
Your system is up and running
Now only thing I still need to fix is airtel datacard on it.. Will update soon....
