Fedora + Eee PC = Eeedora

,----[ Quote ]
| I am a fan of affordable technology. I like relatively cheap gadgets, and I
| like open source. When I heard about Asus' Eee PC, I took it with a certain
| grain of salt. I thought that maybe it was just another company trying to
| take a piece of the pie from the One Laptop Per Child initiative.

Eeedora Impressions

,----[ Quote ]
| The installation process went on pretty smoothly. During partitioning, I was
| pretty much rid of Xandros - the chosen default was actually the most
| sensible. Just one / partition, filling up the entire disk, with no swap. As
| usual, anaconda (the Fedora installer) will warn you that not having a swap
| partition will be detrimental to performance - I wonder how many newbies
| might decide to create a swap partition (kind of a big no-no, on these SSD
| based devices).

eeeXubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| This morning I installed eeeXubuntu on the solid state disk of the little
| Eee. It's pretty cool. The default Xandros in advanced mode was okay, but it  
| was also a bit limiting. Honestly, I've not had the greatest experiences with
| Xandros, and was a little nervous about enabling repositories that weren't
| necessarily for Xandros... or at least the watered-down version of Xandros
| the Eee runs.

eeeXubuntu booting great from SDHC on Asus eeePC

,----[ Quote ]
| I blew away XP on my eeePC and restored the original Xandros - great little
| OS in Easy Mode with iceWM. I also enabled advanced mode (a full KDE desktop)
| using pimpmyeee.sh (Google it - its a no-brainer quick way to enabled KDE).
| You can switch back and forth nice and easily.

| Someone asked me today how Ubuntu was working on the EeePC. It's working
| great! I thought I might share some of my experiences so far, after a bit
| more use. If you are interested in installing Ubuntu 7.10 on your EeePC head
| on over to the Ubuntu Community Wiki and find out how!

The Evolution of an Ubuntu EeePC

,----[ Quote ]
| Enter Ubuntu on the EeePC. Not only did it install quickly and easily on the
| miniature hardware, but it seems to be the first Linux distro that actually
| works on par with a modern OS like OSX. Once the core OS was installed, all
| it took was the help of the "ubuntu-eee" script which tweaked the UI,
| installed updated wifi drivers, and performed a number of optimizations.
| After a quick reboot, everything was up and running smoothly.
