Running Ubuntu on an Asus EEE 4G

So with a little surfing around the net I found Ubuntu-EEE, an up-to-date (Ubuntu 8.04) version of Ubuntu Linux for the EEE PC.

This is not a stripped down version of Linux. The ISO is a good 670+MB in size and includes everything that a desktop version of Ubuntu would.

Of course, things such as Compiz may well be overkill considering the relatively limited power of the EEE.
