1) Intro
I am running Debian 5 on Eeepc 701 (ram 2gb) external USB drive (40GB) FUJITSU MHV2040AS .
Tricky business.
I have used my "old" Acer Aspire Desktop to install the Debian 5. It has a Cdrom/Dvd player to boot the Debian DVD, taken from a specialized Linux mag.
At first I used an USB hard disk (160GB). The USB drive's grub wouldn't boot the Debian kernel, despite the install fared well.
Second, I used another USB hard drive (40gb). This drive's grub does boot the Debian.
At this writing time, I use the 40gb USB hard drive on Eeepc.
Missing: Ethernet module atl2. Cf. below.
nb. There is a better way to do:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Install
2) Install:
The installation is simple as usual via the PC Desktop.
The "bad" is really the grub part.
I install the grub on the USB hdd itself.
In order to make Eeepc compatible, mainly the Ethernet outlet, googling is a must. From the Desktop, of course or from my Eeepc Easy Peasy setup.
Download and put the module on the Debian 5 partition.
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/atl2-modules-2.6.26-2-686/download
Change the /boot/grub/menu.lst to make it use UUID.
Change /etc/fstab to make it use the UUID.
nb. sudo blkid
Boot the Debian on the Eeepc.
And do:
#dpkg -i atl2-modules-2.6.26-2-686_2.6.26+2.0.5-6+lenny1_i386.deb
Be sure the uname command gives the right kernel version. (in fact, I have updated the Debian to 5.0.1).
#modprobe atl2
3) Conclusions:
From my point of view, it seems that the newer versions of Linux miss the backward compatibility at the hardware level. I spent some time to sort out the grub.
I am working with the Eeepc mostly.
I have the choice of OS's:
- Xandros
- Pclinuxos
- Easy Peasy
- Ubuntu remix 9.04
- Debian 5.0.1
The Debian on USB drive is quite fluid, nice to use.

Hello,
I repeat again and again. I am no scientist, philosoph of any sort.
I am a guy whose writing will make everybody scoff at. Even, my own relatives...
I was taught that for something to be called scientific, it has to be proved. As a collorary, the proof must be repeated indefinitly with the same results. e.g, maths, physics ...
So, God is not in the Science domain per se. It cannot be proved; at least not yet.
The Big Bang is not scientifically proved. Since one has to reproduced it in order to prove ...
Art is not scientific.
As an extension of this repeatability, is qantum physics a science ?
More hurdlesome, is human being a scientific fact ? since we are supposed to be unique. Well cloning is in its way to become a reality.
How to conciliate the definitions just to prove that I am a reality ?
I know, I am a crap.
I am just jettisoning those, the very same who deny my existence.
Those who empower themselves to decide whether or not I am worth to live.

Hello,
It's like a western movie, or the newer version in "Robocop".
Some bad guys have tried to push a family to sell their property.
The property is situated in a nice suburb, Chene-Bourg 1225, Geneva CH.
For more than two years, the said family was harassed by some neighbors. One example:domestic garbages keep to pile up, just in front of their property. As far as the property tenants can see, no other place along the avenue where they dwelve, is in such a condition.
That is to say, that some years ago,a part of the property mansion, was rented to a young couple people. Both worked for Banks.
The first two years of renting went smoothly,and suddenly, the couple was complaining that the mansion was in very bad conditions (following water falls dreeping through the ceiling). They only complained some days later...
From now on, the war was declared. The couple has asked to buy the property, despite the ceiling problem and so on. They propose to make an estimate from ones of their friends, who turnout to be in the property assets managements.
The owner of the property was able to cancel the renting contract (a year later ).
Since then, problems arise. The couple warned the owner that they have plenty friends in the neigborhood.
Here is the link, if your are interested (in french).

Hello
When first using easymoblog, I was happy. One of the firs GPL moblog
around.
No one is using it anymore, right ?
During some time, I was able to post with pictures, then blam, bad guys
tried to hack it. So, I shut off most of its features.
After some modifications of my own, today I try to run the moblog
again.
Thanks to the team who has created easymoblog,despite it was stopped a
"long" time ago.

--------------------------
1) Intro
I bought the Eeepc 701 in 2008. I upgraded it with 1G of ram.
Letting the linux Xandros as installed, I used an external 2G SDHC to boot into the pclinuxos Happy with it.
On Feb. 2009, I decided to use my little netbook to do developing work.
I tried out Fedora 7, which was installed on an USB hard drive, without much success (does run on Acer one and on my desktop).
As the price of SDHC memory cards is dwindling down, I bought an 16 GB one, quite blindly (unknown manufacturer), at a bargain value.
I am really impressed with it !
I stumbled upon easypeasy Linux and installed for a try, without enthusiasm.
Surprise, surprise. It turns out that easypeasy is mature enough, to do useful job.
Easypeasy is based on Ubuntu.Hence the repositories are there to scoop up the necessary tools to develop.
2) Lamp:
I decided to install the Lamp package by the way of xampp. No hassle.
To date, are running:
- SPIP CMS
nb:
/opt/lampp/lampp start|stop
/opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
memory_limit = 12M ;
3) Tomcat:
I installed Tomcat from the Ubuntu repository.
The only problems encountered are:
- Missing link /usr/lib/tomcat5.5 -> /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps .
- chown tomcat55:root -R
- Permissions on /var/cache/tomcat5.5
Use chmod 777 -R on it. (not really safe!), just do not forget to change back to 700, once the webapps are deployed.
On the web, somebody suggest to put the .war files in the webapps directly. It works
nb:
/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart
http://localhost:8180/manager/
To date, are running:
- openedit CMS;
- openlaszlo (latest devkit (.war), from nightly build), with much difficulties (very long time to run demos).
4) Tools:
- Bluefish.
- Filezilla.
- swftools, flare, flasm
- gimp
5) Links:
