900A, broken by default

I installed the 8GB SDHC but it's not really used by default.

The software ASUS updater launched and hung when the drive was full.

Is it something I did?

I decided to rm -rf "My Documents" and "Picasa"

After I open a root terminal via control-t in the file manager. I have apt working.

Painful

Maybe I need to install vanilla Ubuntu or Moblin?

Lets see what happens.

Potential Projects

Some minor projects on the horizon.

First, upgrading an EEE 900a to 2GB ram and giving it away. Then a dual core boxee box for my projector room and finally a P3 rsync target for backups over broadband.

My media box should run a dual 2.5Ghz brisbane with 2GB of ram. I was really impressed with the boxee remote for iPod Touch/iPhone. I'll throw in an old 200GB IDE drive for testing.
If it goes well I will build a freenas VM to host the data.

Finally I hope to connect a 500GB seagate to a AEBS, export it to DragonFly BSD on the P3 notebook and sync/backup between sites. Not sure about this one... the AEBS and P3 are extremely slow.
