Yes I did try eeePuppy. It's a nice little distro and things were working great. I booted it from flash. I plan to give it soom more testing this weekend, but I did like what I saw so far. I want to see if I can get the webcam working. Supposedly it will...

Dann, you might really like it now that it is based on Slackware, and I believe you can install slack packages on it. :-)

I used the eeePuppy to rid my eeePC of the user partition and resize the main partition with gparted to reclaim the extra space used by the unionfs. It was a breeze. eeePuppy is fantastic, I will add. I look forward to playing around with a lot more!

I also want to give eeeXBuntu a whirl off the flash.

Didn't you make it clear on the last show that you absolutely hate the new xfce, that you think it's a terrible project, and that the developers are awful people? :wink:
