Puppy Linux loaded on NorhTec Gecko Edubook

The NorhTec Gecko Edubook comes pre-loaded with WattOS, a distribution of Linux configured to optimize the hardware of the netbook. Other Linux based operating systems are also configurable on the netbook, including Puppy Linux among others. NorhTec’s Michael Barnes has tested the OS on the netbook. He used Puppy Linux 4.12 and ran it from a USB thumb drive.
Michael has posted a video, showing the OS in action on the netbook. He notes that while it can play audio and video streamed from the internet, video playback is a bit choppy. You can view the video after the jump.
