Hi Core,
First of all, congratulations for your impressive work. I have an Eee 901 and am currently d/loading and testing some distros for replacing the original xandros. As I’m a newbie in linux, it’s taking some time to make myself familiar with the central concepts and figure out what are the best options to satisfy my needs. And seems that #! is near perfect for it. But as I spend much time with the eee running on battery there’s some crucial issues regarding that, one of which somebody has already asked above and I haven’t seen an answer:
“What about the power settings for the EEE…… does the 9.04 kernel have the EEE mods for dealing with the atom and the power issues?”
If the answer is ‘yes’, #! is my choice – then, I should install the Lite versoin, right?
Thanx!
Victor

@K. Aning, possibly, but we will more than likely jump straight to Lucid.

I vote for cruncheee!

I tried a couple of distros on my 901 and Cruncheee won hands-down.

If I can upgrade 8.x to 9.x that would be amazing because I really like the cut down setup.

Altertatively, something to explain how to customise standard Crunchbang 9.x to match the 8.x Crunchee (software to add/remove, config to adjust) would be superb.

Can I vote again? Cruncheee!

Thanks for the best distro I have ever tried. None of distros I tried before had useful tools like rTorrent, MC, irssi, etc by default.

P.S.: I prefer it over ubuntu even on quad-core setups with >2GB RAM. I just love how well anything in it is pre-configured.

I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for CrunchBang. I’ve had very few issues – less than Ubuntu itself – and it seems very polished. Boot time was very impressive, maybe 15 seconds for a cold boot. I love that I can get more work done without thinking about the distribution as much.
