 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.

Just got an E, its running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Now, Custom Kernel.
SD has everything but the /usr directory on it, including a swap partition. Soon to undergo physical mods. |
