hi,
Just wondering if anyone has installed ubuntu on the Eeepc, i noticed it comes with Xandros but i would prefer Ubuntu (or Xbuntu). I have seen a wealth of how to's on the web, but just wondering if anyone has done it.
thanks,

Don't know squat about it, but I saw the name when looking at reviews on the Eee recently at Newegg.

I must have obviously overlooked it somehow. I read every review, regardless of my interest in the product, for information purposes.

It was designed for the 900 and 1000s from the ground up, they didn't hack ubuntu to make it work. Works flawlessly and its what I use
