[AuckLUG] Eee PC and Ubuntu

[Chilling_Silence]

I dont think thats unique to Slackeee, considering there's the option for
advanced partition setup during the installation of other distros, such as
Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, whatever...

Pretty much any distro out there should let you install to a Thumbdrive or
SDHC card if you *really* want to :)



...well a lot will, but not all! ;)
