I have a Asus900a, I up graded the RAM from 1 to 2G and the SSD from 4g to 32G .Smooth sailing. Just havent gotten used to the mini keyboard. So using these well done tutorials I installed Ubuntu and it went without a hitch; Connectd to my wpa network; S Set up a nw printer (OK a little snag there, but just enough to keep me humble). Here is my current problem, installing the netbook remix desk top. I get to the 3rd step and it asks for my password, and the number keys don;t respond? None of he key do, unless I use the shift key and of course thts no good/ i also tried Fn +F11 the used the UOPJKLM keys and still nothing moves on the screen. What am I miissing here?

Algún truco o algo que se pueda modificar en LINUX. Perdonen pero en windo en la vista detalles hay mas de 25 para elegir la personalización de la vista de la carpeta. Disculpen-Perdonen que cite a windows de mocosoft. Amigos como se puede agregar una nueva columna al explorador nautilus en OpenSuse o en Ubuntu 9.04 en vista de lista además de los doce que tiene.

Woot.com has the EeePC for $170 brand new. It comes with the default Xandros OS so you should be able to install Easy Peasy on it.

Further, you should look to an eee-specific site foe help (not that this isn't a GREAT resource). I suggest http://forum.eeeuser.com as a terrific source of eee-specific help.

Plus the Ubuntu community is (I've found) pretty darn patient w/ newbies, and have really top quality help and howto's. The couple of folks I've spoken w/ who had Eee PCs w/ Xandros had similar complaints as the ppl who have left comments here. I showed them how to overcome those problems, and the typical answer was "well how was I supposed to know that??". Again, I think it's just a bit of a Windows mentality. The same thing happens to folks who switch to OS X. They keep trying to do things they "way they did them in Windows" and it takes a while to get the hang of the differences. Anyway, thrilled you like the site. I should give xubuntu a try on my Eee, but my mum has adopted the device as her own :) @ Gyffes -

I have a 701 (until recently running Xandros in Advanced mode). It's great. Xandros, actually, isn't that bad, once you're in advanced mode and have it tweaked to your liking. Mine connected successfully to my home WPA2-protected system and did so constantly, w/o needing the password to be reentered. The eeeuser forum is an incredible resource. Use it! I recently followed the eeeuser wiki's directions to moving from Xandros to xubuntu and am quite pleased with the results, but, really, would've been fine staying in Xandros: I just like to tinker. Ross, I love your site, greatly appreciate your taking the time to crank out these How Tos for us. The netbook remix doesn't appeal to me so much b/c I like a desktop devoid of icons (and panels!), but as an inveterate tinkerer, I may do the eeedora install you wrote about in Sept. Thanks!

Fredrik's statement that Xandros "sucks" is much too complimentary. I called support to discover why I could not add applications and was told that "Linux doesn't like other programs." Before my decision to convert to Ubuntu, I was ready to declare jihad on the s.o.b. (s) who decided to call Xandros a Linux distro. I have an eee 1000 and am changing over to Ubuntu.

Really! I'm installing Ubuntu EEE OS on my EEE PC thanks to your great tutorial. The problem with eee pc is that it's shipped whit xandros. Sorry all, but it sucks! It cant connect to a WPA2 encrypted network. And an other serious problem (whit the swedish version) is that you can't install or uninstall applications. Xandros is working with it, but who have patience to wait? Not me! :) In a few minutes, i will install the Notbook remix. It clean, looks great and simple. And I'm a already fan of ubuntu! Thanks, sorry for the English. /Fredrik Wow, great! Really! I’m installing Ubuntu EEE OS on my EEE PC thanks to your great tutorial. The problem with eee pc is that it’s shipped whit xandros.
