Ah, my mistake. Turns out the drive in that thing is 4GB. It's tough at 4GB; I can't imagine you'll have a very usable system with only 2GB of space.<div><br></div><div>I've been considering other options since I don't think I'll be able to upgrade the distribution normally due to the space constraints. I'll check out lubuntu for sure, but... the first time I was trying to decide what to put on the eee pc, I stumbled across a distro called eeebuntu, which has apparently been renamed Aurora -- anyone know anything about that?<br>
