If you're legal, use Open Office
"This copy Linex Legal" is a slogan that I use at the time the Junta de Extremadura to promote their distribution and how good it could estrapolar to Open Office today. Glogueando is gerund, I found this on UbuntuArte . Take a look that is priceless
"A promotional message from OpenOffice, cites that 35% of software in the world are pirated or illegal copies, we asked whether our software is legal and clearly describes the strategy of Microsoft.
"After years of unofficially tolerating piracy as a means of securing control of the market, Microsoft is now conducting an offensive to ensure that copies of their software is legitimate:
* Just bought AssetMetrix, a software company specializing in detecting what programs have installed on our PCs
* You are using Internet screening software to install copies of MS-Office on users' PCs.
* Worldwide, the Business Software Alliance is organizing efforts to prosecute those who violate their conditions - for example in the UK offers great financial rewards to any informer who reports to companies that use pirated software.
* Microsoft itself admits that clients have difficulty understanding the complexities of software licensing - it's easy to accidentally break their conditions. "
Note that OpenOffice is a perfectly viable alternative, and further copies are legal and will not cost you money. "

Mandriva one 2009 vs Asus eee pc
After spending some time trying distributions that would suit my eee pc , concludes that it would be best to leave Ubuntu eee and wait for the official Ubuntu , but I found browsing a thread in which the boys had Mandriva with One 2009 claimed that its distribution could read all the hardware of an eee pc, without having to make any changes and even more in LiveCD mode, so tired of messing in Debian and Ubuntu 8.10 I decided to test it and the bottom line is more than satisfactory because it detects all the first (including wifi), runs fast and gives no problem with the installation, if not fijaros in this v ideo .
Those of you with an Asus eee pc and want a distribution that is stable, fast, with all drivers and most used plugins, you have to try Mandriva Linux One 2009.

Comparison of Linux distros "tailored"
Meeting in a Computerworld article that I found interesting in comparing different versions of Linux distributions "as". They have been grouped into three types: distributions super small (in size), distros for older hardware (where lightness is most important) and finally distros to perform maintenance / rescue.
We discussed the pros and cons as well as a photo gallery, because sometimes a picture is worth a thousand tests
