Deze onofficiële website is opgericht op vrijdag 8 juni 2007 door ant om informatie te verzamelen over de ASUS Eee PC. De Eee PC is een serie goedkope kleine notebooks gemaakt door ASUS Computer Inc. aan het einde van 2007. Eee PC's zijn gemaakt met de filosofie die door ASUS “de drie Es” wordt genoemd: “Eenvoudig te leren, Eenvoudig mee te werken en Eenvoudig mee te spelen”.

Nieuw op eeeuser.com?

De EeeUser website bestaat uit drie onderdelen, de blog of Home page, de Forums en deze, de Wiki.

Om een eigen bijdrage te leveren aan de gemeenschap moet je voor alle drie onderdelen apart inloggen maar het wordt wel erg op prijs gesteld dat je overal gebruik maakt van dezelfde gebruikersnaam.

Regels

Er zijn een aantal regels voor deze website, lees die even door. Hoewel ze primair gericht zijn op de Forums gelden de principes voor alle delen van deze website.

Zoeken!

Het wordt erg op prijs gesteld dat je eerst gaat rondkijken en zoeken op de Forums voordat je een vraag stelt die al meerdere keren is beantwoord. Voor de nieuwe gebruikers, de eeeuser Google Custom Search zoekfunctie (op de hoofdpagina) is erg nuttig om te zoeken in alle drie onderdelen van de website. Omdat het erg lijkt op de google zoekmachine zullen de meeste gebruikers hier prima mee uit de voeten kunnen om bv. een foutmelding mee te zoeken door deze te kopiëren en te plakken in het zoekvenster. Daarnaast zijn er ook de specifieke zoek mogelijkheden zoals het Forum zoeken en de Wiki zoeken boven aan iedere pagina.

Nieuwe Eee PC gebruiker?

Er zijn een aantal Wiki artikelen die bijzonder handig zijn zoals Absolute Beginners: Een handleiding om de Eenvoudig Mode aan ter passen door middel van zgn. yards, Common Problems, Frequently Asked Questions en An introduction to terminal. Als je voor het eerst gebruik maakt van de EeePC en/of Xandros dan kun je beter eerst met de basis beginnen voordat je aan de meer geavanceerde projecten begint.

Nog nooit een Wiki gebruikt? Kijk hier: Getting Started.

Heb je Wiki vaker gebruikt? Kijk hier discussion, of maak een eigen bijdrage!

De EeeUser Wiki is een gemeenschappelijk documentatie project voor de Eee PC. Het bevat alles van productie informatie tot geavanceerde tips en How-To artikelen, toegevoegd door gemeenschap leden zoals jij. Zie het als een gigantisch, constant wijzigende Eee handleiding waar iedereen zijn bijdrage aan kan leveren!

Wil je helpen? Een manier is om nuttige info te zoeken op de EeeUser Forums en deze om te zetten voor publicatie hier, in een bestaand of een nieuwe artikel. Klik hier om een nieuw toe te voegen.

Easy Mode is the default desktop you see when you first take your Eee out of the box. It is characterized by tabs across the top of the screen and no launch / “Start” button in the toolbar at the bottom. This section describes enhancements you can make without disabling Easy Mode.

Advanced mode turns off the default tabbed user interface and enables a more “normal” computer desktop with a launch / “Start” button, with movable, re-arrangeable icons on the desktop, icons that respond to right-clicks, etc. This adds a burden to the system, but many find the ease of configuration worth it.
