DingoPlus is a straight-forward remaster of Dingo customised for the Asus Eeepc!

DingoPlus includes plenty of extra packages as well as all of the required Eeepc drivers. The wireless works straight out of the box, although you will have to load the Atl2 module if you want to use the wired ethernet. The brightness and wireless function keys work, but the volume and mute functions keys don't, but you can control the volume using the icon on the taskbar and I have installed xbindkeys if you want to set them up. Significant additions include Open Office, Remote Desktop Client and Python/PyGtk programming facilities. For a full list of packages see the list below. I have not changed the look of Dingo as I think it looks great already and I do not want to take credit away from the original developers by rebranding it. It contains all of the applications I need at work and home, it will run in the RAM comfortably on any computer with 512Mb RAM and it will boot from USB flash drives, SD cards and hard drives.

It has to be downloaded as a ZIP file as the file server I am using does not allow the transfer of .iso images. Inside the ZIP file you will find the .iso image, the md5sum, a package list and a screenshot. The md5sum is for the .iso image not the ZIP file! I do not have any way of tracking how many times DingoPlus is downloaded as yet - so I would appreciate it is you could send an e-mail to tony.sales@rncb.ac.uk with the word 'dingoplus' as the subject along with any positive and/or negative feedback if you download it.

Update:

Wesnoth Special Edition*

I have just uploaded a special edition of DingoPlus featuring the
Battle of Wesnoth turn based strategy game. This has exactly the same
applications as the original DingoPlus with the addition of SDL and The
Battle of Wesnoth. I have modified the Battle of Wesnoth so that it
starts in windowed mode because it cannot handle the 800x480 resolution
on the Asus Eeepc. However you can navigate the start screens by
enlarging it to 1024x768 by pressing alt and left mouse in the bottom
left corner, dragging it to the top right corner and dragging the
corner of the window.

Once you have started the game you can then maximise the window again
and navigate by using the cursor keys to scroll around the map and
hotkeys to play the game, and you can use Ctrl+Z/X to zoom in and out
if you want.
