Darn!

I've been perusing the pages I had been printing from the Debian Eeepc wiki in 2008, back when there were only 701 eeepcs.

Quoting Tim AUTON: There seems to be a pathological behavior on USB flash and SD cards with the cfq IO scheduler - it's slow and far from fair. Use another elevator; deadline seems the most effective. Add the kernel parameter "elevator=deadline" to the kernel line in /grub/menu.conf to use deadline as a default.

You can have a look at this elevator business here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SS … _Scheduler

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … on_SD_card  has some things that might interest you.

PS: If you want your eeepc to be less warm and to use less CPU, you can force the Linux ACPI support by doing the following:
Edit /etc/default/grub as root, then add acpi_osi=Linux" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line, like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux"
Then update Grub

Il est plutôt cool, ce nouveau forum, Dartthwound! La mise en page / présentation est très originale.

The new forum is rather cool, Darthwound! The layout is really original.

There's an excellent book about the universe, introducing the notion of Multiverse; it's John D Barrow's The book of universes.
A review of it can be found here:

Viperr is quick, the pre-made customizations are nice, especially when you have a very small screen like on eeepcs.
Jupiter is working and the computer's temperature is lower than when running CrunchBang with/without Jupiter.
When installed, Viperr has an post-installation script (just like Crunchbang) that needs 15 minutes to install LibreOffice, remove Gnumeric and Abiword, add Dropbox and printing support (LAMP can be installed too, as numlockx) and do the yum cleaning; so here are which applications you get once it's over:

(rpm distros are more friendly to eeepcs and Jupiter works better with them, that's why I prefer them to Debian or Ubuntu ones.)

Been following your method 2, Tunafish, modifying the script to replace os.system('openbox-logout') with os.system('cb-exit') and it works like a charm.
Thanks a lot.

@machinebacon:
yes, on the second link, which has the list of all tested & installable OS, the ones that are written in bold characters have persistence enabled; plus it's stated at the top of the list that persistent mode is available for: Ubuntu, Fedora 12/13 /..., Debian-live, Slax, Puppy and derivatives.

That's the best stuff since sliced bread.

Been testing SalixLive LXDE among the distros I've put onto this USB system, and tried Salix Liveclone
http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic. … amp;p=8363
basically, running the live session, I've removed packages that were useless to my eeepc and added a few essentials (like Opera ), tweaked the settings, then ran Liveclone and half an hour later I was having a personalized live USB key of Salix (working without flaws, I'm using it now).

Couldn't resist to Sabayon Lxde, as the live USB was behaving so well compared to the previous Gnome Sabayons I had been testing previously. It ended installed on my eeepc 1000H hard disk.

Performances are pretty better than under Gnome, no freezings or enormous use of CPU; Sulfur and equo have evolved to quicker versions, it seems, or may be when you have Gnome, dependencies are so intricate that it takes ages for the package manager to check them all.

Is there an end to distro-hopping, I wonder? Or does that mean that when you distro-hopp you have an open-minded frame of mind, or that you're an obsessive-compulsive ?

@psyco430404; what's wrong with KDE? Well for me, profusion of widgets, bouncing icons and so on; but it's a personal view. Always preferred the rough and hostile beauty of deserts to the luxuriance of tropical forests.

Apart from a few reviews, Dedoimedo is usually full of interesting articles, especially, as stated by johnraff, when it comes to virtualization.

No, he is a KDE lover!

Thanks for the tip, dubois, I wasn't aware of it. Had been leaving the fruits in the sun on the windowsill this summer, but even though they were sold at a prohibitive price, they won't ripen.

PS: Oh, talking of food, I've seen more garlic items in shops in England than in France, so French bashing about garlic should be decreed as obsolete!

Been searching, and yes, it's got fvwm2+fvicons-2.6.1.tgz and fvwm2-2.6.1.tgz in the 5.0 packages list ( checked only for i386):
