Hi Has anyone put Ubuntu 8.04 on a Eeepc 900. If so any major problems. Barry
You'd probably want to be aiming for 8.10 now and there is probably an eee specific page on the ubuntu wiki (I know there is for my Asipre one netbook)
Otherwise you could look towards projects such as eeebuntu which do all the netbook specific tweaks like minimising SSD wear and changing the scheduler for one more relevant to SSD disks for you.
Mostly these are getting bits of /var into tmpfs, lowering the aggressiveness of the swap usage (if you need swap at all) and setting the kernel to use the noop scheduler.
There is also ubuntu netbook remix but that is mostly a (ghastly imo) task based front end for the desktop
