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?
