Don't know anything about Eeepc900, but it looks like its set to hibernate, when you want it to shut down. See if there's a setting for that. > > 2.

In Linux, the convention is to run packages from /usr/bin/ and that is the location that dpkg opens most of them after being downloaded by the apt tool. When files are downloaded, they can be removed by using synaptic, or from the command line: sudo apt-get remove <name of package> but be careful, Linux is a modular system, with packages being made up of dependencies (and each package uses dependencies other packages use). That way, you don't get (for example) a spell checker installed for every word processor you have on your system, but it makes sense to know what you'll delete when deleting just one package, and the command line use of apt-get will let you know that. > > thank you so much in advance.
