No, but there's some information on the blogs and forums at
http://www.eeeuser.com/, according to one of my online mates who's
contemplating doing this. I'll let you know how he gets on! If it works I
may just be tempted to do it myself; I find the restricted repos and block
on uninstalling the pre-installed stuff a bit of a pita already...I dunno
how you'd wipe the read-only partition without reformatting its whole tiny
hdd though.
As for whether it has enough space - well if it can run a cut-down version
of WinXP it must be able to run Ubuntu!
:D

Subject: [Peterboro] Installing Ubuntu on the Asus eee
Thanks again for the various replies regarding the problem with moving
oversized panels in Thunderbird. Problem solved.
Does anyone have any experience of installing Ubuntu on one of these
little beasts? I have one on order and would prefer to have the full
Ubuntu functionality, rather than the OS it ships with. I assume I would
have to get an Ubuntu install onto an SD card or a memory stick and
install it from there. Or alternatively, I could plug my external Seagate
USB hard drive in and load from that.
I'm not sure of the exact procedure, or if Ubuntu takes up much more disk
space than the original Asus OS. This might be an issue given that the
Asus only has 4Gb available.
Dave
