The Evolution of an Ubuntu EeePC

,----[ Quote ]
| Enter Ubuntu on the EeePC. Not only did it install quickly and easily on the 
| miniature hardware, but it seems to be the first Linux distro that actually 
| works on par with a modern OS like OSX. Once the core OS was installed, all 
| it took was the help of the “ubuntu-eee” script which tweaked the UI, 
| installed updated wifi drivers, and performed a number of optimizations. 
| After a quick reboot, everything was up and running smoothly.
