Eeebuntu

Eeebuntu is a variant of Ubuntu specifically for the asus eee-pc and other netbook type computers. Eeebuntu have 3 kind of type :

1. Eeebuntu Standard
   
   Eeebuntu Standard contains everything you need to get working and playing on your EeePC from the beginning. It includes a full suite of internet applications, including Firefox for browsing, Pidgin for IM chat, and Thunderbird for mail. For work, a full suite of OpenOffice applications; Database, Presentation, Spreadsheet and Word - all Microsoft Office compatible; and a selection of multimedia applications: VLC for watching movies and Banshee for listening to music. You even have support for your iPod with gtkpod!
   
   
2. Eeebuntu Netbook Remix
   
   Is similar to Standard, except it uses the Netbook Launcher, customised for the small screen of the EeePC and over 71,000 downloaders to date have chosen it for their installation! Instead of the usual Eeebuntu desktop, the main launcher provides a tabbed environment with easy to access icons for all the applications and documents you use day to day. It's easy to customise and much quicker to navigate through when you're on the move. As with Standard, the Netbook Remix comes with a complete set of applications so you can start working and playing on your EeePC straight away.
   
   
3. Eeebuntu Base
   
   Is the smallest, lightest and most stripped down of the three ISO's. Apart from Gnome and its usual configuration applications, Firefox, restricted extras and the Eeeconfigure application, there's little else, which means it's up to you to add as few or as many as you need. To date, over 33,000 pro users have installed it onto their machines. Some of the other things that have been removed to save space are: Compiz, additional language packs (you can install your own later), all office, media and internet applications and their support files (apart from Firefox and Remote Desktop tools), and Java. Ideal to save space on the SSD and for those who know exactly what they need in their install, Eeebuntu Base gives you just enough without loading you down with unnecessary applications.
