Ubuntu-EEE and the EEE901
Last night I started installing Ubuntu-EEE, but it left me with unsuable network connections (same as the standard edition of Ubuntu did). Thanks to the information in their wiki those problems has now been resolved, and I hope that the fixes will be included in a future release of the EEE (there shouldn’t be a need to have a special EEE edition of Ubuntu, it should be supported out of the box).
I also installed the Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but I am not that impressed. It looks great, but has a serious performance problem which standard Gnome doesn’t have – and here I thought we got something specific to the UMPC community where most of them doesn’t have a speed monster of CPU under the hood (and my EEE901 is supposed to be top-of-the-line with its Atom CPU). I will however keep an eye on the Ubuntu Netbook Remix and hope that they will have resolved the performance problem in a near-future release.
