Eee Ubuntu Hardy

I finally got the nerve to install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron on my Asus EeePC. I was tired of running my broken eeeXUbuntu (which at the time was cool, but I don’t like XFCE). I was waiting on the ubuntu-eee team from TuxFamily to finish the install CD, but I realized that the tweaks were not that difficult.

I found all of the tweaks I needed for Hardy from two sites:

• EeeUser: Getting Ubuntu 8.04 to Work Perfectly
• TuxFamily: Ubuntu-Eee User Guides

I compiled all of the tweaks from both sites into one file and started the install. It is now working better than ever and I don’t need Windows XP or Xandros. Some of the tweaks are listed below:

• Ext2 Partition & No Swap
• MadWifi Patch
• Sound Fixes
• On-Screen Display Scripts
• Hotkey Configurations
• Gnome Smaller Fonts
• Shutdown Fixes
• UbuntuEeeTweak Script
• RiceeeyTweak Script
• Startup Time Improvements
• Battery Optimizations
• Compact Gnome Themes
• Temporary Directories on RAM

Gnome is so nice!
