I put Ubuntu on it earlier off USB and after faffing around with the drivers for wireless and modifying and reloading kernel bits, I remembered why I gave up on Ubuntu to replace Vista a year ago. It takes so much buggering about to get it working i just couldnt be arsed. And as soon as you do a kernel update it all stops working again.....

Besides the Eee PC is for my wife for Xmas so i cant have her asking me how to get things working every 5 minutes !!! It now has a semi-functioning Ubuntu 8.10 on it and i cant find the Windows Recovery CD.....oops. Hope my torrent download speeds up....

Thanks anyway !!

Dave
