operating system
the operating system is xandros
in short its a Linux distro that look a lot like windows , for more information check the website linked above
i know what most would think , Linux ! hard system ! Run away !!
It the same feeling i had at first , but to tell you the truth it isn’t as hard as it sound , yes some stuff sound complicated but help is everywhere online , and i assume anyone buying EeePC to have internet access on other computer or have a Linux nerd on call
