No, but there's some information on the blogs and forums at
http://www.eeeuser.com/, according to one of my online mates who's
contemplating doing this. I'll let you know how he gets on! If it
works I may just be tempted to do it myself; I find the restricted
repos and block on uninstalling the pre-installed stuff a bit of a
pita already...I dunno how you'd wipe the read-only partition without
reformatting its whole tiny hdd though.
As for whether it has enough space - well if it can run a cut-down
version of WinXP it must be able to run Ubuntu!
:D

Subject: [Peterboro] Installing Ubuntu on the Asus eee
Thanks again for the various replies regarding the problem with
moving oversized panels in Thunderbird. Problem solved.
Does anyone have any experience of installing Ubuntu on one of these
little beasts? I have one on order and would prefer to have the full
Ubuntu functionality, rather than the OS it ships with. I assume I
would have to get an Ubuntu install onto an SD card or a memory stick
and install it from there. Or alternatively, I could plug my external
Seagate USB hard drive in and load from that.
I'm not sure of the exact procedure, or if Ubuntu takes up much more
disk space than the original Asus OS. This might be an issue given
that the Asus only has 4Gb available.
Dave
