“Pre-order” Ubuntu Eee SD cards

Posted on by

You’ve given me lots of feedback through this post and on the Facebook fan page. Thank you! Ubuntu Eee doesn’t have too much money so I’ve only bought 10 SD cards so far. 4GB Class 6, like you asked for. They’re on their way as you read this. Taking shipping into consideration, we should probably ask for more than 50$ per card. Still, we feel that your comments about not going above 50$, to make them affordable for developing countries, sounds reasonable. Thanks again for your feedback!

You will get

  • Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 (harder, better, faster, stronger than Ubuntu Eee 8.04)
  • Ubuntu Eee Plug-and-Play Class 6 SD card
  • to support an open source project which does everything it can to give back to it’s users

How do I get it

You get one of these smashing cards for free when you donate 50$ or more to the Ubuntu Eee project.

It is not in our nature to screw people over, so if you’ve already donated, you can get away with just supplying to your first donation.

  1. Andre, thanks a lot. I tried donating with Internet Explorer and experienced the same as you. Only 9% of our visitors use IE though. But now it’s fixed, thanks!

  2. Hi Jon, I tried it again. The Paypal link seems to be broken. I always get the message “Page not found – Paypal”. Maybe this is the reason why you don´t get any donations ?

  3. Andre, it doesn’t? Please try again. We haven’t gotten 10 donations, but I will order more cards when we’re out.
    awhs, it’s hard to look forward in time, but: yes, probably

  5. Hi, nice idea…just tried to donate 50$, but the paypal link does not work. Any of these SD cards still available ?

    Thanks

    Andre

  15. Can you please clarify if Ubuntu Eee will support all the Eee PC variants? As you know, the 700 has a 7″ screen, the 900 has a 8.9″ screen, the 901 has the same screen as the 900, but a different wireless card etc…

    Hardware isn’t the same on all the Eee PCs, so is Ubuntu Eee targeting only the first generation of Eee PCs, or will it cover the 2nd and 3rd generations as well?

  17. manny, thanks!
    Urban Strata, thank you. People have said that class 6 SD cards give the same feel as the SSD when it comes to speed. So that’s what we’ve gone for. When it comes to out-of-the-box support, we’re focusing on full support of the 701 and 900 versions before we’re move on to the 901 and 1000 versions.

  18. First of all, GREAT job on Ubuntu Eee. I’ve been using it on my 701 4G for a couple weeks and love it — just waiting for true webcam support. ;-)

    The SD card idea is great. Just wondering:

    1. How will access speeds compare between running the OS on SD as opposed to the SSD?

    2. Will Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 support the new 901 and 1000(H) out of the box?

    Thanks!

  21. Anonym, sorry, but it isn’t done yet. You don’t have to donate anything to get it when it’s out. But IF you donate, you get one of these cards when you donate more than 50$. That’s the idea :)

    Jeni, can’t be more illegal to put it on a sd card than making it available for download?

  24. Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 will be as free as any other linux distributions. This is just an alternative to downloading it and putting it on a stick yourself where you get to donate to the project

  25. Quote: “to support an open source project which does everything it can to give back to it’s users”

    why just let all the people download the super “Ubuntu Eee 8.04.1 harder, better, faster, stronger” instead of making them pay for it ?

    sorry for this post, but it’s the truth!!
