Did you call their support to get it fixed? I'm guessing you didn't, since the 1215B didn't ship with Linux, according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_Eee_PC

Interestingly, I had a few of the earlier models that did (701, 901 iirc) and their support for Linux was great. Certainly light years ahead of my efforts to put Linux in a Dell a few years prior.

Typical Linux fan answer on the Internet, apparently Wikipedia knows better than me, having bought it.

Not only it shipped with a custom Asus distribution for media play called Linux Express, it had Ubuntu on it.

  • Not surprising, since I don't know you. I tried to confirm your claims and only found confirmation that it didn't ship with Linux.

    What is surprising that you come back with ad-hominem arguments ("typical Linux fan answer," "knows better than me") in lieu of hard evidence.

    • Yes, because you act like you know better than me.

      Typical attitude on Linux forums.

      Do you want a hardcopy from the purchase order as well?
