Blog EntryASUS Eee PC -- part IIFeb 27, '08 11:38 AM
for everyone

Spent the entire day fiddling with the ASUS Eee PC at my workplace. It needed a sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade to get the restricted Adobe Flash plugin to work with Firefox.

For the curious:
/home/user> cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701 p701 main
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/en p701 main

However, this particular passage sounds puzzling to me: (thanks to SM for the link)
The Xandros install uses unionfs for its file system, which is very common for Live CD installations. However, one of its features is that the space used by an application cannot be freed once that application is uninstalled.

What would happen if I do a find ~ -name "*.png" -delete to remove all the PNGs from my home directory? Will I get back some free space on the file-system?

And, yes I had not realized that it had a webcam too. :-)
