Same here, except in my case: s/tea/triple espresso/g But I doubt the wisdom of updating an SSD netbook on the machine itself: 1. Wear on the SSD itself with all those compiles 2. It's sloooooow Maybe wait for Neil Bothwick to show up and ask him for the gory details - he seems to have gotten it down pat on his Eee. I know for myself, I made the conscious decision for Gentoo on my desktop and notebook but the Aspire One runs Ubuntu Remix for this very reason. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
