I jsuyt purchased a mildly used ASUS Eee 700 (something, seller was
not explicit) from ebay.
Has a 4Gb SSD and 512Mb ram. Also an SD slot. It is coming with some
Linux (assume Ubuntu?), but want something I am more used to. I would
have gone with Centos, but could never get my SD slot on my HP nc4010
working.
So I figured I want a little stablity so I would go with FC9 (really
9.5) and I should get enough to fit on that 4Gb drive (2Mb swap for
hibernation to swap). And I should be able to get virtual windowing
to work so I have a large enough desktop for most things I will be
doing.
Is FC9 the way to go, or should I take the dive with FC10? What are
others running on their Eee?
I have a 700 with 8gb SSd and it's going to be tight to get anything
on it .
I have FC10 and all hardware has drivers for it in FC10. Easy install.
I would suggest you allocate 3gb to / and 1gb to /home , to get a
deceit install .
With only 4Gb, I was considering putting it all in one partition, and
not risk a miscalc. Then put most of my work on an SD card. Do larger SD
cards use more power? 8Gb are out, so I could have almost nothing in
/home, and put almost everything on the SD card.
Alternatively the price of 16GB thumb (USB) drives is way down, so you could go
that way. Just a thought.
