Swanny14 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 So, I just recently ordered mine, it should be arriving soon. I've read in some of the reviews that the default distro is crippled and just plain bad, so I was wondering: What should I do with it? Should I leave the distro or should I install another one (which one?). Any suggestions/ideas are appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 What model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmithisme Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I was also thinking about getting one, or an EeePC. I dont want to keep the default operating system. What would be a really nice one to put on and what would be the easiest way to do it. I would try to put Ubuntu on it depending on the size of the hard drive.

IceBerg Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I also ordered an AAO: AOA150-1447 Sapphire Blue it will be a dual boot ubuntu(possibly remix) and XP, bluetooth mini dongle and Logitech v470 bt mouse. I will also be upgrading to full 1.5G ram and a 500G ext hd for rainbow/hash table storage It will be accompanied by my Jaseger FON, and will be loaded with all my tools such as: CnA, winrtgen, rainbowcrack, hamster, ferret, as well as some custom arp poisoning and ssl hacking utils and a nice proxy server for full MITM. Not to mention tftp server that will push keloggers. I'm also working on spoofing a domain controller using apr poisoning and dns spoofing to push keyloggers, and custom config files, all for the AAO. I will also be using a Alfa AWUS036H network adapter over the built in one as it's ~500mW and fully supports injection. I haven't decided if I'm going to do the touch screen mod and the 3G mod yet or not. I will probably upgrade the internal HD to 500G for extra hash and data storage.

Like my Dell D620 with Core 2 DUO and 2GB RAM ;) I just like the AAO for it's weight and it was my fav of all the ones I was able to get my personal hands on. It was just a weight thing for me. I have a Asus G1 currently that I will be selling soon and replaceing with a macBook Pro 15" for development work. but the AAO is what I will carry with me.

stingwray Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 My friend had problems with Debian not finding a bootloader. I tried Ubuntu 8.04 and the last kernel update caused a lot of problems for me, so I moved to Fedora 10 and that runs well but has a few really annoying small bugs, so I'm going to give Ubuntu 8.10 a try soon. If your upgrading the memory, upgrade the wireless card as well, get a a/b/g/n card, saves having to take it to bits more than once (disassembling it is sodding annoying).
