About a week ago I had the opportunity to play for a short time with an Asus EEE PC 4G on which the operating system had been changed to xubuntu (relatively easy to do I'm told) and the screen font size made smaller so that more would fit on the screen. It seemed to be an improvement on the OS supplied (xandros?) and might help with KComm, although I am not familiar with that program. However, Julian is probably right that the successor EEE PC900 which has just been released in the UK might be better as the screen is quite a bit bigger, without increasing the size of the machine itself. Also it has more memory - 20Gb for the Linux version. However it does cost a bit more.

KComm wasn't written with the Eee PC specifically in mind. With the window
shrunk to show just the logging part it will fit on the Eee's screen, but
with it opened up to show the CW/Data TX and RX windows it's just a bit too long. I tried to make it fit, but I couldn't without compromising usability
on a regular screen. I think it will be OK on the newer Eees that have a
bigger screen.

I could answer the question raised about how to install software on Linux
but it is really off-topic for this reflector. There is a low-traffic Asus
Eee PC Ham Radio forum at http://www.zerobeat.net/smf/index.php?board=24.0
which would really be a better place. I will be happy to give some advice
there if anyone asks.
