Hi Nelson and all, Until August I was running the then current version of crunchbang linux on the original (and very much unbeefy) original Asus eee PC. Crunchbang is debian-derived and is designed to be lightweight. The only issues I had were 1) poor streaming video playback with a choppier experience than on more beefy hardware and 2) very slow compliation of some HUGE LaTeX files. I'd still be happily using cb on that box, but the keyboard went wonky giving me an excuse to get a Asus eee PC 1005PE. I've got one version back of crunchbang on that with encrypted /home, /tmp, and swap. I've the ame issues as with the earlier eee, but much less severely so. HTH, Brian vdB
