Re: [Fwd: lilypond on eee pc]

[David Fedoruk]

I tried the Xandros distribution but soon realised that many of the
applications i needed to run just would not run right on Xandros. My
Eee Pc 1000 only startedd performing well for me when I installed Easy
Peasy. It is a Netbook version of Ubuntu.

However, I really hated the desktop setup which the Ubuntu folks seem
so proud of. I eventually settled on EEEbuntu. It is also a Ubuntu
type distribution but without the Netbook-type button desktop. I am
happy with this distribution and recomend it because of its basically
uncluttered look.

You *must* visit the Netbook Kernel repository at < www.array.org .> .
There you will find custom kernels for any of the Asus netbooks as
well as some others. These kernels enable ease, the wireless
networking as well as many of the other functions controlled by
special key combinations.

The standard version of Lilypond in Ubuntu Jaunty is 2.12.0 which I
believe is Lilypond's stable version. However, the unstable 2.13
versions will work just as well using the install script from
lilypond.

The only problem I am having currently is that jEdit hangs half-way
through start-up. This is a new problem so it is not a problem with
the hardware or distribution itself. Its some configuration problem
which I have yet to find  a solution for.

All told, I'm quite happy with my eee pc 1000 running linux, just not
the Xandros pre-installed version.
