Hardware, Embedded Systems "The Asus Eee PC has been out for a few months now and while people are still buying them in droves, much of the luster has worn off of the device. During the first few weeks of ownership, it is hard for most people to get over how cheap and portable it is, but, as with anything else, you get used to it. After some time, once you see it as a tool and not an innovation, you can start to fine tune your opinion of the Eee PC and notice which parts of it really bother you and which you have learned to live with."

Steve, I thought of using regular Gnome Ubuntu but Xubuntu saved on the memory requirements so I used it. I don't think you will miss too much over regular Gnome. EeeXubuntu had been tweeked to run on the eee so I thought it would be a good match. I am using all my regular Gnome apps. and they work well. In general Ubuntu works well on the eee. The wireless networking actually seems to work better without Xandros, go figure. The eee forum also has scripts for VGA output you can use to bind to the Function keys. I haven't bothered getting the video camera up and running.
