]]> If you think that the Asus Eee PC can only run Linux OS and Windows XP, think again. It can also run another OS that goes by the name of Syllable Desktop. Syllable Desktop is OS optimized for desktop computers with east to use graphical work environment. It has high response speed to user input and start up fast.

By using an inventive method of installation since installing the Syllable Dekstop from a USB won’t work, Michael Saunders did an imaging of his Eee drive with a dd utility (from Linux) and installed Syllable using QEmu and then dd’ing the image back to the real drive. I know this may sound techy, but developers would definitely understand how the process work.

Saunders also reports that video, audio, touchpad, USB and battery of the Asus Eee PC after installing the Syllable Desktop, are working pretty fine. But widescreen video and network are not working yet.

So, if you’re looking for an alternative OS to play around with your Asus Eee PC, you may want to give Syllable Desktop a spin. More details here.
