Re: [BLUG] EeePC (was What have you done ...)

I too have a 701. Currently running Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.04). There were a couple tweaks, but it all installed quite nicely, and I'm really in favor.

Truly the only problem/issue I have right now (and it's totally, easily fixable, just a matter of time!) is the dreadful Ubuntu-brown color scheme.

For a white EeePC in a black case, and for an owner/handler of lovely, classic black and white border collies...the brown is dreadful....

Have you installed Linux on the Asus Eee PC? I just bought one for yet another project at work, and I was wondering if the thing would run Linux.

       My 701 (the first or maybe second version to hit the market) *came* with Linux.

       It was Xandros, which had sold out to the Gates of Hell, and had an interface so much like Windows I had to get it off there or barf after half an hour.

       I've now tried out eight or ten distros on it. Some are slow, or slow to boot (including Fedora 10, but the Fedora list says that was my fault); and many are ubuntoid, which I happen to be allergic to. But I can't think of one that doesn't at least install and run, one way or another.
