Re: [school-discuss] Smallest Linux Footprint

[Izzy Blacklock <izzyb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ubuntu has thier eeebuntu versions that may work also.  They're designed 
for the Asus EEE machines, but are known to work on others.  They don't 
mention E-140's specifically, but it may be worth a look anyway.  They 
have 3 versions available; a slimed down base system, the netbook 
edition, and a standard ubuntu full install tailored for the eee 
laptops.  I love the netbook edition on an eee 900 and love it. :)  Have 
a look at the FAQ and the Forums.
