Hi Kevin,
I've installed the eeebuntu netbook remix as the live CD worked
flawlessly with WPA-2, and I believe the hardware is the same for the wifi.
I'm updating it as we speak, and then no more writes to the SSD! I
actually feel guilty about updating it!
No disconnects so far, all working well, although need a suggestion for
a window manager which will allow my daughter the use her own desktop
background.
Any suggestions lads?
Conor.
