By the way, thanks to whomever suggested Lubuntu for my eeePC. I've finally had to bite down on the fact that it can't run Ubuntu Netbook sensibly with a 4GB USB HD even stripping out locales and other clutter and constantly cleaning up apt like a madwoman.
Xubuntu's too big as well. I tried Puppy but whilst it's a really good little distro for non-techie's to do web/email/office, it's a bit of a shag learning a slack-based distro so you can get it to do *anything* else - and you end up having to compile everything onto it cos the package handler isn't really functional yet - then the compiler breaks if you install it to HD! DSL is grumpyl. I was contemplating slapping XFCE on Debian or something but obviously that isn't going to work for the non-techie users. I'm really looking for something with oob functinality for non-tech users that can revive the clapped out PCs used by lots of smaller charities (besides something low-hassle for the eeePC). Lubuntu does the job, your basic web/email/office stuff oob, and I can get stuff I need like sshfs and nfs clients etc working on the cli in 10 mins. Chromium gets on my nerves but I thought I'd try Midori which seems OK. Pity the swiftfox/swiftweasel projects seem a bit lacking in energy - need the functionality of FF but it just hogs ridiculous amounts of HD :( Anyway, Lubuntu's the first 'lite' Ubuntu flavour that really does the job oob yet is a grown-up OS which I could feel confident giving to non-techie charity orgs too.
