Saga of an Asus Eee User – Day 5

I know that earlier in the week, I alluded to the fact that I would be installing EeeDora. This morning I downloaded it and created the LiveUSB. I must say that I was not very impressed with it. So after playing around with it for a few hours, I decided that I would try the EeeXubuntu distro.

Check out this video, not from my own installation…

This was the first time I ever used Xfce, but it is quickly becoming my favorite. I have always been a fan of KDE, but it does require far more resources. So far my overall impression of EeeXubuntu is that it still has a long way to go before I would want to recommend it to anyone who was new to Linux and the eeePc. For anyone getting the eee, I would suggest sticking with the Xandros distro that is installed. If the Easy mode doesn’t provide everything you are looking for, try running in the regular KDE mode. It offers far more flexibility. I think in the next few days I will be back to Xandros myself.
