882634 2010-05-06 03:40:00 Just a question for you wise geeks regarding my friend's eeePc. I've been trying now for a few days to make more space on the eeePc HD, to no avail. Trying to reinstall XP, it does not want to do anything (perhaps due to a lack of HD space)? I thought, with XP being so big, I should install Linux on this machine, and get OpenOffice for her Word app's - and then the question of "not enough HD space" will hopefully be over. What is the latest Linux kernel that resembles XP (the last one I knew was Ubuntu V10 I think).

882636 2010-05-06 03:54:00 Very similar to Windows - it's not a real OS :lol: R2x1 (4628)
882637 2010-05-06 04:02:00 How big is the HDD ? Must be very small if it cant take an XP OS. From Memory its under 2GB. wainuitech (129)
