I'm getting an ASUS Eee Box soon. I already have Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop on a bootable USB stick that I plan on using to install Ubuntu on the Eee.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips. Does 8.10 work right out of the box on the Eee Box? Are there any things I should be aware of before jumping into this?

This thread might help you out:

Some of the instructions are for Hardy but there is some Intrepid stuff in the thread too.

I don't have an eee Box yet but I am curious so please post back with your experiences!

Thanks! I don't see any experiences installing 8.10 on the Eee Box, just 8.10 beta. I'll report here once I try it out myself.
