Das w�re ein Thema f�r unseren Nebenl�ufer "Linux Netbooks", trotzdem.
Ich hab auch mal mit einem Asus EeePC gespielt und konnte mit der
"Kinder-GUI" (Reiter-basiert, riesige Icons, ...) nichts anfangen.
Es war keine gute Idee, spezielle, vereinfachte Benutzerschnitt-
stellen dort zu installieren, finde ich. Auch im ereits diskutieren

"The special purpose distros usually offer a menu program to launch
things from. I don't think I'd like that... as I'm already used to
the menus and panels in GNOME and KDE which work perfectly fine. Menu
applications might be good for newbies but I think they are better
off getting acquainted with a traditional desktop environment. On the
first generation of netbooks, because they had less memory, less
storage, and a slower processor... netbook specific distros with a
light-weight menu rather than a traditional desktop made more sense...
now, not so much.

My recommendation to distro makers... don't make a separate distro
build / version just for netbooks. Your regular release should work
fine... but if you want to include netbook specific packages or groups
of packages, go for it."

Asus interessiert sich nicht mehr daf�r:
