Parse errors usually mean that there is an error /etc/apt/sources.list
Did you manually change this file?
The only change that I did was run the program pimpmyeee. I don't know how
to change the sources list manually. It ran itself and I saw in the terminal
box a whole bunch of different place for the computer to look for
applications.

I have Ubuntu 8.04 on my eeePC 701 and Ubuntu 8.10 on my Acer Aspire One
(to be more accurate I put Xubuntu since I prefer XFCE to GNOME). In
both cases I built my own kernel to better support the hardware on each
device. IIRC Ubuntu 8.10 should support all of the hardware on the 701.
I don't actually use a GUI on my 701 as I only ever connect to it via
ssh these days.
If you have time, the 64Studio people have a release for netbooks that
they are looking to test. You can get the install CD here:

o
Yes I know that these devices do not have cd/dvd drives, I have a USB
DVD RW that works well for this sort of thing.

I run eeebuntu (http://www.eeebuntu.org/) on my eee pc. Runs a little slow
on the 700 series, because it runs Compiz by default, but it works really
well.
As for your other issue, try running 'apt-get update' on the command line
and see if you get any errors. If not, try installing your piece of software
using apt and see what happens.
How do I install a piece of software using apt??
Hey Jesse. I ran the apt-get update and below is what I got.
