One week after the arrival of the release candidate, the EasyPeasy developers have released version 1.6 of their Ubuntu-based Linux distribution aimed at netbooks, adding a brand new interface and the open source Nouveau driver for NVIDIA graphics hardware
Easy Peasy is a Linux distribution also known as "Ubuntu Eee", an independent project not affiliated in any way with Canonical / Ubuntu or Asus / EeePC which firstly had the name "Ubuntu Eee" but later renamed to "Easy Peasy" to avoid trademark issues.
What exactly is Easy Peasy Linux? Here is what it's developers have to say:
The Ubuntu-based netbook distro Easy Peasy was formely known as Ubuntu Eee. Easy Peasy uses the Ubuntu Netbook Remix graphical user interface and provides a mix of popular open-source and proprietary software.
I don’t own a netbook but I’ve always been fascinated by the operating systems that run on them. Whether it’s a version of Windows, Linux or something else it intrigues me to know what folks are running on their netbooks. So when I ran into Easy Peasy Linux, I just could not resist doing a review of it here for DLR.
The EasyPeasy developers have launched a release candidate for version 1.6 of their Linux distribution aimed at netbooks, adding a new boot system with new artwork, the Nouveau driver for NVIDIA graphics hardware and a number of updated packages
An Ubuntu Linux-based distro landed this week for netbook users with the annoying sounding name of Easy Peasy 1.0. Easy Peasy, previously known as Ubuntu Eee, has dropped the Eee tag to signal that they’re gunning for more than just the Asus netbook market.
Easy Peasy (netbook optimized Ubuntu Linux) which was released a few weeks ago will have a few nice new features in the upcoming 2.0 release, according to developer Jon Ramvi.
Ubuntu Eee is a popular Linux distribution designed for Asus Eee PCs. It’s based on Ubuntu Linux, but it’s not an official Ubuntu project and so developer Jon Ramvi has been searching for a new name for the Ubuntu Eee for the last few months to avoid trademark issues. Today he’s announced the new name: Easy Peasy.
