new here

Hi! I'm new here. I just bought an Asus EeePC and don't even know what distribution of linux the machine runs. Can anyone help me there?

Also, I'm interested in finding a free bit torrent client that runs under whatever distribution I'm running. Can anyone recommend one, and tell me where I can find it?

Thanks!

Al

Hi and Welcome !

Open Terminal or Konsole and execute this
Code:
cat /etc/*release*
cat /etc/*version*
cat /etc/issue
Above commands will display Distribution name and version.

Welcome!

The 3EPC comes preloaded with an especially tailored Xandros. In this forum you can find that under 'Other Distributions' at the bottom of the 'Your Distro' section.

There is a good deal of info available in the Wiki of eeeuser.com at
Welcome to EeeUser! [EeeUser Eee PC Wiki]

I've had my epc since Feb08 and am having a great time with it since I switched to the advanced desktop. Good luck, I hope you have as much fun with yours as I have.
