Just get the Debian Eeepc Distro. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Install I got the version that loads onto a memory stick and it installed with no problems on my 900, everything just works including wireless and blutooth. The default gui is gnome but I have run xfce and openbox on it. The installer uses Lenny as its base but since squeeze is now supported I did a dist-upgrade yesterday without any problems. I got 50+ updated packages today whereas with Lenny I was getting only a few per week, but given Squeeze is a work in progress the number of updates is to be expected and is no worse than experienced with Sid on my main system. -- John Lewis using Debian Sid with windowmaker for a nicer desktop -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
