[Blackpool] ubuntu on EEE PC901

[Tony Hughes]

Hi Geoff

I've not used one of theses but I would put one of the Ubuntu re-spins 
that need lower resources on it such as Watt OS

Install to the 4Gig SSD but do a custom install and point the home 
partition to the 8Gig SSD for storing your files.

Another option would be to install Ubuntu to an SD card you can get a 
SanDisk 16Gig Class 10 card for just over £7 on Amazon and a 32Gig is 
only £12.99 I've run my Aser One quite successfully from an SD card in 
the past. This would leave the internal SSD's for storage. As these were 
early SSD technology the speed of the SD Card might actually be better 
than the installed SSD's in the netbook.

Regards

Tony
