Hi
Are there any EeePC users out there running Linux on one?
Mine should be here tomorrow and I am hoping to run the full Ubuntu 10.10 - not the Netbook version - on it.
Has anyone any experience? It is a 701SD, so it is a 7" model with 8GB SSD.
I have ubuntu 10.04 running on a 2Gb 7" eeePc.
I managed that by initially installing ubuntu server with *no* extras, just what it calls the 'base system'. That fitted *easily* using less than half the 2Gb.
If you then want a GUI then install (for example) the xfce4 meta package which will pull in all the bits required for the GUI but not loads of applications.
Then, finally, you can install the applications you need.
