Alternative Distros, What other distro are you using? Options

[tux]

I very quickly installed the advanced desktop mode to my eeepc, using the advice on the Eeeuser.com forums and wiki.

It wasn't long before I invested in a 16GB SDHC card and dual booted eeeXubuntu. I was quite happy with that and had it working quite nicely.

However the originator of the eeexubuntu project has gone missing. Perhaps he ran away from all the demands for help from the dozier inhabitants of that forum!

So I'm just trying to put xubuntu on and trying to follow the suggestions on those forums and that wiki.

So what other distros are people using or experimenting with?

Any tips, suggestions are more than welcome. There are so many duplicate threads over at Eeeuser.com that it is quite hard to find the genuine article.

Cheers

I have a xubuntu dual boot working. After the xubuntu install I used the scripts from the ubuntu eee wiki and it seems to sort out the hardware issues, in particular the wifi drivers. The suggested webcam application seems a bit problematical.

Hum did not have a look at the wiki ....
but I've booted the slack 12 install CD (with usb CD from work) and I can see the SD card.

I'm currently installing slackware 12 in expert mode only choosing stuff that I actually use and I'm installing to SD ... I plan tu use xandros grub to boot my slackware on SD ... well at least I'm gonna try.

If I fail I'll look at the wiki ... well I'll look anyway to maybe see if other tweeks work better then what I'm dooing ..... and maybe find out howto ad konsole to favourites menu on xandros (which is going to be left untouched on the SSD.
