Eee PC comes with XandrOS distro of Linux, therefore the way I access my network files is different than when I’m using Windows. Fortunately, there is a system called the Network File System (NFS). First generation of WD Netcenter are NFS enabled, but my recent acquisition — the MyBook World Edition — is not NFS enabled. Therefore I have to do the dirty work before I can access my audio/video files from my half-terabyte hard drive. The following are the steps I went through before successfully accomplishing the task:
- SSH Access in MyBook WE
- MyBook WE as NFS Server
- Mount the path:
mount mybook_ip:/shares/internal /mnt -o rw
That’s all folks!

I finally decided to purchase an Eee PC instead of getting a Wii. I realized that I won’t be playing a video game in my free time that much and really need a small notebook wherever I go. I know I’ve said countless times that don’t want a laptop to carry around, but this baby is so lightweight and small that it feels like I’m carrying an actual binded notebook. Though it doesn’t have that much disk space, it has all the software I need for mobile computing including the WiFi.
I have the 4G so it also comes with a webcam. Pretty cool gadget and I must say this has to be one of the est I’ve ever spent my bucks for. I have yet to adjust with the keyboard, but I don’t expect to type faster here.
I still have to play around with the unit to get what I expected it to provide me. So, I will be posting Eee PC related discoveries in the future for my reference and for others also.

This post is for my future reference as well as for others who are looking for answers on how to setup their cellphone’s MMS feature. I will strictly focus on T-Mobile USA ToGo (Prepaid) and LG KG320.
