I installed it on my 1000he and out of the box everything worked. So, I recommend you do the same.

He has an external CD drive he uses with his netbook. He will be able to install Eeebuntu with a CD the way he would on his desktop, won't he?

I don't know anything really about Ubuntu or Linux but i do understand it is safer to get on the web with linux than with windows or microsoft. i'm not a techy so if i'm off on my thoughts, please help me. any thoughts on how i should go about this whole process of having both? many thanks for any suggestions. i just got an ASUS 1000HE and have ordered the 2 g memory upgrade. i’ve read enough of the reviews to see that there are some people who have loaded Ubuntu in a separate partition.

This is a big deal, since the screens are one of the biggest limitations of netbooks. The maximum screen resolution of the hardware on these netbooks like Eee PC and AspireOne is an amazing 2048 x 2048 - but you would never know it if you didn't install better drivers and better operating systems!

People have beome spoiled with their quad-core monstrous laptops. But even a small laptop with the specs of the eeepc can be a serious computer. The specs are a lot like laptops were 3 years ago, just in a cute compact package. Were laptops TOYS 3 years ago? Of course not. Just curious... what resourses does eeeubuntu mysteriously unlock that my xp eeepc can't? I use mine as a beat machine in a music studio, type papers on it, and do email. What else would you want a laptop to do. The eeepc is a very effective laptop even running windoze. People have beome spoiled with their quad-core monstrous laptops.
