I have the ePC 701 running XP.
4GB internal, & 1 GB RAM.
I upped the RAM myself.
I want to put in a larger internal SD card, but it may take some careful
surgery.

Just curious what people are running on their netbooks etc with low storage?
I have an eeepc701 with 4gb storage, 8gb sd-card and 2gb of ram was
considering grml, anyone running something different on similar config?
I have netbooks with hard disks that can probably run vinux or full ubuntu;
but thought I could do better than Debian 4.0 on the 701.
Regards, Kerry.

I don't know if this helps, but I did a debootstrap on my laptop for debian 
from the grml cd.
It was great because I don't have a hardware synth, but the install came out 
to like 200 mb or so.


Thanks,

[James Homuth]

Depending on processor you could probably get away with installing Gentoo on
it. If you can wrap your head around the manual instalation via ssh you'd
have to do.

[Kerry Hoath]

Sure, I built my speakup from Git, and got it working nicely.
considering possibly putting orca and gnome on the box though for GUI work.
Vinux might be what I want and with 12gb storage I might get away with it.

I don't have one myself (I opted for a laptop upgrade instead), but there is 
a
Debian installer specifically for the Asus EEEPC.

Once the basic operating system is installed, SpeakUp modules are waiting in
the repository.
