easy peasy worked welll on the eee for me but for some reason i could never get it to install past the live mode, now that i learned a little with that i tried out the ubunuo 9.04 it is great i highly recommend it for the eee 900a

I wiped and installed but i see no reason that a dual boot would be any problems, its snappy to use and the battery life’s great. i’m toying with the idea of asking for a refund on the ms tax as this model isn’t available without xp but it may be more trouble than its worth

Update. Just picked up an eee 901 XP (replaced the 8GB drive with a Supertalent 32GB drive) and set it up for dual booting XP Home and Ubuntu 9.04. Everything is working like a champ.

Brenda – Are you using dual boot on your 1000HE? or you took out XP? Thanks, I’m planning to install this on my 1000HE but don’t want to totally lose XP.

This release is awesome! Right now only from a Sd card, it literally flies on my eee pc 1000. I am getting a 901 and will do a full install once it arrives and is upgraded. In my eee’s I have been using “easy peasy”, but now no more third party to support the hardware.

I also tested this out on my Sony notebook and it also flies.

Thanks.

Just installed it yesterday and all i can say it very impressive distro for a netbook.
I got a Wind u100 model 649ca and everythingworks out of the box except ;

1- Webcam with the software Cheese does not work.
2- Processor stepping ( Econo- normal – overclocking )
Full 9 cell battery should be giving me 8 to 10 hours, i get 6.5 only.
(info from Ubuntu itself)
3- Trackpad is working for mouse pointer but not for web page
scroling ( When you slide right side and down side of the pad).
4- Also scroling from page up and page down seem to be working but
not in all applications.(fn UP and DOWN)

seem to be a lot but these are minor fixes that the final version could correct.

I hope my experience could bring some developpement in this nice version
and you can be sure that this is now my MSI Wind U100 distro of choice.
