EasyPeasy (formerly namedUbuntu Eee) was a Linux-basedoperating system fornetbooks. EasyPeasy was built uponDebian andUbuntu, but was customized for low-powered computers and access toweb applications.[2] EasyPeasy is maintained as anopen source project,[3] though it primarily uses popular web applications orproprietary software overfree and open source software alternatives (e.g.Skype overEkiga) when the functionality offered is deemed better by its users.[4]
Ubuntu Eee was started byJon Ramvi in December 2007. At that time it was only somescripts which modified a regularUbuntu installation to support theAsus Eee PCs. In June 2008 the project was disbanded as a script and Ubuntu Eee 8.04 was released as a stand-alonedistribution, based onUbuntu 8.04 with EeePC support installed out of the box. On September 5 followed the 8.04.1 version. It used a new Linux kernel, came with a new user interface andFlash 10.
It was renamed EasyPeasy in January 2009, and has been downloaded well over two million times from the main mirror.[7]
On September 10, 2008,Canonical notified Jon Ramvi by email that the project's use of Canonical's names, URLs, and logos violated Canonical'strademarks in the original nameUbuntu Eee.[8]In response, the owners of the project announced that they would use a new nameEasyPeasy and version 1.0 was released January 1, 2009.
