I can't afford an eee pc right now, but as soon as my next pay cheque comes through I'll be popping back here with one of the new 8.9 inch models. I really wanted Ubuntu on it to keep the system related to my other devices (which are all Ubuntu or Fedora) - and I'm not sure that I want the tabbed GUI that comes on the default Linux install. I spend most of my time in terminal anyway, so I was almost thinking about keeping it command line. (being able to carry one of these around with me all the time would be so useful when I get a phone call along the lines of "the server's down, have you got ssh ...") Thanks for the post - really great!

I'll see if I can add a link to here on the wiki. Well, I mentioned your writeup to Zelut and he seemed to indicate your article was one of the resources he consulted.

Also, the instructions look woefully incomplete compared to what is offered at the Eeeuser Wiki. There's not even any mention of the MadWifi drivers for WiFi that are native and better than the hacked solution that page espouses. Hi, jdog,

Since then I've installed a lot of stuff and am hovering at about 200MBs free, and now I'm going through with Synaptic and trimming out all the fat I can find.

I get my Eee in a few days, and I plan to come back here then to get ubuntu going. Following these steps, what are you left with for disk space on the 4GB SSD? What's the best way to trim down the install, just using synaptic to uninstall unused packages? Hey, thanks for putting this together!
