A friend lent me her Eee PC for a few days so I can replace the default Xandros with Ubuntu. Because this install isn’t for me, I’d like to make this setup the least painful as possible to use. After much experimenting with booting without a disc and fiddling with the tiny hardware, I have [...]

Fresh out of the oven, I test the latest offering from Canonical, Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, on my Macbook 2,1. Currently, I dedicate 32GB of my hard drive to Windows with Boot Camp.

If you are using Mac OSX or Linux, go to the folder where your cpp file is located in the terminal. On windows, you will need to install g++.

g++ -o hellos main.cpp
To run it:
./hellos
Note: It [...]
