Whats currently putting me off is the wireles seems somewhat dodgy and firefox takes forever to load up first time but this could all be because i'm running it off the flashdrive. Does anyone have advice? I’m running eeedora off my usb flash drive right now and contemplating whether to take the plunge and install it over the default xandros system.

I've used my little computer on a film set and with my cellphone tethered for 3G internet. I'm used to Fedora on tower computers, so this is a minor adventure. I tried installing DEV tools and am now about out of space. =( Is it possible to install Red Hat Fedora instead, and using my tower computer to build/compile apps and just xfer them to the EeePC to save the poor little thing from getting heat stroke from doing the compiling itself? Can I compile on a much fast system with different hardware and still run the app(s) on the EeePC? thanks! Sarah Hey Guys,

I've installed asus_acpi module and acpid is able to grab hotkey events and execute defined scripts in /etc/acpi/actions. Everythings runs just fine, except from the fact the scripts in /etc/acpi/actions cannot open any graphical program, such as xrandr (to change lcd x vga etc.) I get this on /var/log/Xorg.0.log: Code: AUDIT: Sat Apr 26 19:31:46 2008: 1912 Xorg: client 30 rejected from local host ( uid=0 gid=0 pid=4563 ) I must say I do have "export DISPLAY=:0" at the beginning of the script I'm intending to run. The only until now I could make it work was to type, as regular user: Code: xhost +local:root After that the script runs just fine and I don't get the errors in Xorg.0.log. I can't see what I'm doing wrong... If someone could help, I'd appreciate a lot! Thanks, I’m using Fedora 9 Preview on my Eee 4G.

Actually, there seem to be two distinct and antithetical approaches to the EEE PC interface and software: an out-of-the-box plain, self-contained everyday use, and a geek-oriented nerdish and hack-prone (ab)use of the machine. The first is typically preferred by the majority of users, who see the EEEPC’s Xandros O.S. with AsusLauncher graphical interface (probably inherited from PDAs, see image on the left) and preinstalled software as sufficient for their needs, and probably appreciate the fast response and stable behaviour of the software as a whole. This large part of EEE PC’s users, will eventually search for, discover and make use of some ’smart tricks’ in order to hack into the system and expand it in some way, for example using some Terminal commands to unlock the full Xandros Desktop (thus bypassing the AsusLauncher interface) or tweaking the EEE PC icon interface and adding new repositories to download additional applications. At the antipode are those smart users who prefer the hacking approach, usually starting with a radical change in the EEE PC’s system, for example installing another Linux distribution like eeeXubuntu or eeeDora, and in some cases installing an optimized version of Windows XP whose code has been ‘cleaned’ from the unnecessary stuff wih the use of great utilities like nLite, GameXP or XPLite. So, as you can see, the Asus EEE PC manages to keep both unexperienced computer user AND smart PC users like techies, geeks, nerds or even hackers (-wannabees) and Linux gurus satisfied, offering them the best of both worlds according to everyone’s computing needs. EEE PC competitors will have to address this aspect too, of course, in order to reach the same level of popularity and success. Are they going to have what it takes to succeed against such a great machine in the same price tag?

Fedora is very easy to install. I knew absolutely nothing about operating systems when I installed it on my laptop. It has such a good boot-loader and sensible default values, it installed and ran straight away. The install was on an acer Aspire 3000.
