Edward B. Heath ( Pittsburgh ) I purchased this model (cheaper, refurbished from a different supplier, with a gig of RAM, I'm sorry Amazon), and while I'm not so 'much experience with the various versions of Linux as an auditor of others to this day, the Mr. Jones, I had the same problem of storage space. When I started the netbook just wanted to update, and when it stopped, I was maybe 50 megabytes free. So, in fact I had two options, Mr. Jones, I ordered a 14 "" New Old gigabyte DSS Newegg (make sure it is compatible with the architecture of a M900 bit 'bigger), and I downloaded and installed eeebuntu.
I am very happy with the software for the Eee. I'm not a programmer or terribly familiar with the material, but I work in a university department that provides services (servers, electronic mail, computer labs, etc.), so I want to be familiar with the different types of systems use and easy to upgrade and repairing computers. And the Eee gives me access to some form of Linux (Unix, essentially, right?).
As for my assessment of the Eee's hardware is concerned, everything must be measured against its main quality, portability. So, I'm not wild on the keyboard, and even though I think the resolution is good enough for applications and how the icons of OS are set up, I found the only link solution. The Eee is difficult to balance on my knees (not a laptop or netbook, but wobbletop). But, once again, the thing weighs almost nothing and fits nicely in a purse that has padding for a laptop. Probably, you can not use it as a portable DVD player (also with an external DVD player) and all video games with the media player may be too small. It can not have the power to run demanding applications (assuming you can find some that will run on eeebuntu). Still, especially when it is cheap, it's a good web browser Ultra moble. I found the battery life of about a solid three hours (maybe I have to pay for too long in the initial stage, you can get more information.)

James Jones ( Clive, IA United States ) I bought basically the same version of Eee PC to another shop - and why is not usable. Here's why: it comes with the Xandros distribution uses unionfs. This allows you to have a partition that has read-only file system in its initial state, and another to read and write has changed. If there is a file in the partition read-write is used in place of the corresponding partition read-only. This is a great advantage when things screwed up, reboot and press a button and things will return to their original condition - all you need to do is delete the partition on reading and writing.
Has a big disadvantage: it uses more space, and 4GB of SSD, I discovered that after downloading updates automatically, there was little space left. Remember, the original version is still there, on land use read-only partitions, but the new version is read / write the score - and this is nothing but the downloaded file that contains the update that is packaged for 'use. After the update of one or two programs, the system is completely full, making the system unusable.
You have two choices: (1) receive a larger capacity SSD and reinstall, or (2) Download Ubuntu Eee (before being called Easy Peasy) and install, wiping Xandros SSD. When I did this, was 1.5 GB left on the SSD, and a few updates later, there is still 700MB left. That said, the screen is beautiful. The touchpad is respectable, and yes, it means a slip two fingers. Wi-Fi has worked for me in a motel, one or two weeks ago, when my wife's Dell Inspiron laptop has not been possible to obtain a usable signal. Yeah, the buttons are small, but I'm satisfied, even with fat stubby little fingers.
So how does the factory, I wonder if ASUS wanted to put people off Linux - imagine the fury of a parent or grandparent who was thinking about Little Johnny a computer for Christmas to see that after a while 'minutes, said that the disc is full and can not be used! With a larger SSD, or with Ubuntu Eee / Easy Peasy, is a wonderful little netbook.
