I will probably work great, and if not then just take it off.

Well, given that a regular notebook has the power to run regular Ubuntu just fine, eeebuntu seems a bit silly.

But hey, if you're just messing around and trying to have some fun with it, go ahead. My attitude is always that as long as I still have my install disks and back-ups of my data, anything I screw up can be fixed by a clean install.

I have to work on it some more. The problem is that the iso doesnt include standard wireless/lan drivers. All I should have to do is put the wireless driver deb on a thumb drive and install it.

Other than that, its wicked. Boots on a 1.2 ghz laptop in 75 seconds(including the time it takes me to type my name and password). If I eliminated the grub menu and did auto log in, it would be even quicker.

Its clean, very unsophisticated. Colorful, organized nicely.

What speed do you get with standard Ubuntu on that? Xubuntu? Some other minimalist set-up?
