A friend recently came to me with a request for a fully functional 10" laptop. She does all her work in the cloud, so the consistency of the OS and the underlying processing power was not of issue. Having worked with Debian on a specific hardware platform before, I turned to eBay and purchased an Asus EEE PC, Model 1005HAB. I threw in a 128GB Toshiba solid state drive and upgraded the RAM to 2GB; that is the max allowable for this specific model. I then downloaded the latest devuan-jessie-netboot-i386-alpha2.iso and prepared a USB drive via unetbootin on my Linux desktop. The alpha2 installed without issue and runs smoothly. She's been using it this week in her law classes to take notes and prepare assignments. She's had no issues and she's been able to flow between wireless networks without any hiccups; she hasn't experienced a single issue. Even the power management seems to be reasonable. Obviously, being that Jessie is still in alpha, we do expect to incur issues at some point, but for now, neither of us could be happier. While I'm aware that there is much more work to do, I just wanted to offer my appreciation for all the hard work, as well as congratulations on a job well done. I'm looking forward to the future.
