Back to the genuine Debian flavor
28-Jan-2009
After some time "playing" with Puppeee, some application-level features (no SSL support for Subversion, no
LaTeX) didn't satisfy my needs. I suspect it is my business to mind for such specific
software. Thus, back to the genuine Debian
flavor, I took eeeXubuntu, a 7.10 live CD release
of Xubuntu hacked to run on the EeePC.
Since I didn't want to substitute the original Xandros in the SSD, I chose to use again the SDHC.
Then, the resulting card should be able to launch the available eeeXubuntu ISO image. The original instructions
proposed to use UNetbootin, but the distributed binary
threw a floating point exception on my machine. In order to overcome this nuisance,
the FUSBi project served me well. Mainly it's a bootable
USB images creator, like UNetbootin, but this one worked perfectly. Finally I managed to run the EeePC with
eeeXubuntu, a live distribution, and thus with no persistence, but since this distro is already
very well prepared, this aspect is just insignificant to me.
Note: for some reason I still ignore
the automatic Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex USB creator (with persistence) just crashed soon after being
launched.
