Xubuntu on the Eee PC

It took a lot of my free time but I can finally say I’m happy with my Eee PC running on Xubuntu.

1. I formatted a USB drive for Linux via http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/

2. Installation and tweaks were from http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:customization

3. Then finally enabling Compiz-fusion:
a. Taking note of Direct Rendering: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:customization#direct_rendering
b. Then doing the rest: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:compiz_on_eeexubunto

There you go. Compiz-fusion is probably the highlight of the process… the fact that it’s a lot like OS X effects just adds to the excitement.
