    Add a Versatile Compact Flash Boot Drive to an Inexpensive Laptop

    By Posted on 5.9.2008 1 Comments

    No doubt about it; Everexs gBook computer is a hackers dream PC. While we weren't too fond of the company's entry into the ultra-portable market, the gBook sings a different tune: On top of being a fairly well-equipped, full-size VIA-based budget laptop, the gBook also sports some impressive hidden features when the hood is lifted and the tires kicked. And while they may not be immediately apparent, in the hands of a seasoned tinkerer the gBook's extras can allow for some inspired modding.

    Nice story Dave. Now everyone knows about this great hackbook. Oh well, at least i already got mine. There are XP drivers posted from everex so its pretty easy to rid yourself of the orginal buggy Gos linux. http://www.everex.com/support/downloads/downloads.htm#gbook For those interested, ubuntu 8.04 is an easy install and seems to work well too.
