Asus Eee and Ubuntu - more screen shots

As requested, here are some screen shots of various packages running on the Eee. I've hosted them on Flickr (due to some ongoing functionality issues with our content management system - ie, it doesn't do what I want), so you can click for the full size captures.

Gimp:

Scribus:

Blender:

Inkscape:

In other news: the Eee runs for two hours and forty minutes from the battery, doing intermittent light browsing but with no suspend or hibernation set. I've noticed that the screen saver doesn't douse the backlight, and that Ubuntu is easily confused about the battery state, so there's plenty of room here for tweakery.

Very Nice, Rupert!!! :D

Now, if possible, try to connect the Asus EeePC with external monitor and change the resolution of the screen to the maximum size supported by it. If positive, the Asus EeePC have not barriers for work with these applications at normal and/or high screen resolution! :D

Many thanks for the screenshots... :D ... i post them in my blog for a new article:

I plugged in an external screen and turned on - the Eee spotted it and configured itself correctly for the 1280x1024 resolution. Haven't played with that beyond this point, but it looked most usable.

@ Rupert

Many thanks, Rupert. Now the "experiment" of Ubuntu in EeePC is totally 100% Ok! :D
