    well i’m linux tech guru..and I have ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix…on my netbook ..it’s a hp mini 110

    I purchased 2 bootable USBs from this person via Ebay for my netbook and my brother’s as a gift to him. Windows XP on my netbook had almost run out of memory with all those updates.

    I did not want to wave the guarantee from the manufacturer by installing Ubuntu so the USB boot allows me to run the miniHP with Ubuntu no problem.

    Radio streaming is a little problematic because they are linked to windows programs but flash and viewing videos on Hulu and Youtube are not a problem.

    Try this: power down Eee, disconnect AC charger, disconnect battery, wait 10 sec. Connect battery, connect AC charger, and power up and test Eee. This will force a hard reset to the WiFi adapter in the Eee.

    I have installed the 9.04 netbook remix on my Asus 1005HA. I could not make my wired and wireless to work. Can you please help me with this? I am new to Linux and want to try it.

    Thanks you

    Wow! Nice. Thanks :)

  6. jmurrayil Says:

    No, you simply need to turn 3D on under “Appearance” settings.

  7. Davillalva Says:

    i have a question, Do I have to install the graphics drivers manually in order to get 3d out of the box?

  8. jmurrayil Says:

    You can install either the standard desktop or the netbook remix desktop on an Asus Eee PC. Both operate the same – only the user interface, the desktop, is different.

    would there be any problems if i just install a desktop version of ubuntu instead of notebook remix??

    hey how do you instal it to dual boot?

  11. jmurrayil Says:

    Yes. You can install Ubuntu to the second HD for dual-booting.

    wow thanks for the fast response! :)

    one more question, I’ve got the eeepc 1000h.and there are 2x 80gb hard drives. do u think I could use the 2nd (which is empty and unused) for linux?

  13. jmurrayil Says:

    If you keep the original operating system on the PC’s hard drive when installing Ubuntu, then Ubuntu’s installer will automatically set up for dual-booting. NOTE: Defrag Windows operating system TWICE before installing a second operating system for dual-booting and shut-down/re-boot PC between defrags. (The defrags put all of Windows files together and allows for a faster install; otherwise Ubuntu installer would have to defrag hard drive.)

    after having installed ubuntu, is it easy to dual-boot? how do you do it? because I’m quite interested in ubuntu, but I need xp for some programs :S

  15. jmurrayil Says:

    EXT3 and EXT4 are journaling file systems and perform many writes to the drive (making and updating the journal), thus can wear a solid-state drive out earlier than necessary, faster than EXT2 will. But, EXT3/4 are better at recovering files/data upon a corruption.

  16. Lazev Says:

    Why ext2?

  17. jmurrayil Says:

    Yes, you can install Ubuntu to dual-boot along side Windows, then choose which OS to run during power up.

  19. ScreamingPixel Says:

    Thank you :)

  20. jmurrayil Says:

    Yes.

  21. ScreamingPixel Says:

    Can i still switch back to the traditional ubuntu look?

  22. jmurrayil Says:

    You can install Ubuntu to dual-boot along side Windows.

  23. Ad1rtytub3s0ck Says:

    Do you have to back up everything, or not? Because I have the acer 160GB with ms office on it for school, and I am wondering if it keeps your stuff.

  24. Persuader32 Says:

    Can you install the Netbook Remix on an EEE w/ the old 900 MHZ Celeron Processor? That’s what I got….

  25. Dante1969 Says:

    Acer Aspire One and ubuntu netbook remix.
    The best thing is to install on a pendrive, because the internal ssd is a bit crappy.
    In this moment i’m enjoying of this “columbus egg”.
    Mousepad scrolling is Waay better than Xp, and 3d desktop is on the fly. This is perfect for Netbooks!
