I have an eeePC 1000 that came with the xandros derivative which I dumped within 24 hours. I tried a couple of different things but did not like the NBR. I had easypeasy next on the list to try but was happy with eeebuntu. It has been very solid and got everything both working and controllable. I did not know they had issues with 9.04 and actually upgraded last night. There was a problem during the upgrade which was kind of messy to fix. Basicly it had a dependency problem with libc6-dev dependency on libc6 which was apparently not installed at that time. I ended up having to do this: larry@damselfish:~$ sudo apt-get install -f > [sudo] password for larry: > E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to > correct the problem. > larry@damselfish:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a > dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libc6-dev: > libc6-dev depends on libc6 (= 2.9-4ubuntu6); however: > Package libc6 is not installed. > dpkg: error processing libc6-dev (--configure): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured > Errors were encountered while processing: > libc6-dev > larry@damselfish:~$ sudo apt-get install libc6 > Reading package lists...

I have not looked into that yet. -- Dazed_75 a.k.a. Larry
