Hi,
Delighted to hear it.
Basically, I found a Xubuntu Xfce (desktop) version
available for
download for 32 and 64 bit machines; downloaded both,
installed the 32
bit on an old Asus eeepc 1000H which had Windows XP.
Worked so well
I have heard that this works — I was surprised because I
have used more
recent Asus machines and they're basically rubbish.
Interested in your reasons why you say this?
I see a lot of students coming into my office with laptop problems and
there seem to be more Asus machines than any other. The most common
problems are sticking or broken keys, random battery drain, sudden
screen blanking, and hard disk noise. But maybe I am doing them an
injustice: I have not used one myself.

Re: ASUS and Xubuntu:
I installed Xubuntu on two variants of their old "netbooks" with no
problems. They worked great even tho they maxed-out at 2 GB of ram. I
even managed to dual boot as well as replace the HD with an SSD in the
second one, which took a bit of prying and screwing around.
Excuse the top-post. Interspersing comments doesn't work well on this droid.
