EeePC

[Lynn Ziegler]

I just purchased a model 900 (for $167.00 US). I did not care for the
version of linux installed so I immediately installed eebuntu (9.04) - the
"full" version not the base version. It is very slick. However, I had a
couple of problems:

1. I first tried to install using a bootable flash drive as described on the
eebuntu web site. This did not work as I could not get the 900 to boot from
the flash drive. I then created a DVD with eebuntu on it and booted from a
USB DVD drive and installed no problem. Anyone else have trouble booting
from a flash drive to install eebuntu.

2. I simply cannot get the "rotating cube" thing working under Compiz
Fusion. Is this just because the graphics card is too wimpy? Anyone had any
luck with that?
