Es­toy usan­do mi eee ha­ce ya un tiem­po con una es­pe­cie de Ku­bun­tu.

Sin em­bar­go, mi apli­ca­ción fa­vo­ri­ta pa­ra ma­ne­jar re­des wi­re­le­ss o no es wi­cd, que usa Py­tho­n/­GTK. O usa­ba, ya que la ver­sión 1.4.1 re­quie­re py­tho­n-g­no­me2-ex­tra­s.

Lo que a su vez de­pen­de de...

O sea: a ba­jar 87M­B. Eso no es­tá bue­no. De he­cho, ca­si no hay cam­bios con res­pec­to a 1.3.1 que no re­que­ría to­do eso! Sal­vo por un cam­bio muy im­por­tan­te en una eeeP­C: se pue­de achi­car la al­tu­ra a 400 pixel­s.

Así que sien­do lo que so­y, hi­ce es­to:

Es un reem­pla­zo de gui.­py y tra­y.­py de wi­cd. Só­lo ne­ce­si­ta Py­Q­t4, que ya lo te­nía ins­tal­do y de­pen­de de:

¿Se ve la di­fe­ren­cia?

Me to­mó unas 3 ho­ras pa­ra ar­mar­lo, y fun­cio­na (ex­cep­to red wi­re­d, dia­lo­go de pre­fe­ren­cia­s, IPs es­tá­ti­cos y scrip­ts) pe­ro lo di­fí­cil es­tá he­cho.

Si al­guien quie­re una co­pia, que pi­da no­má­s. ¿Su­pon­go que KU­bun­tu po­dría usar al­go así?

As I said be­fore, the bas­tardized Xan­dros [1] sucked. In fac­t, I man­aged to de­stroy it. So I de­cid­ed to switch to an­oth­er dis­tro. Any dis­tro.

En­ter ee­eX­ubun­tu, a eee-­tuned Xubun­tu [2].

Since I pre­fer KDE to XFCE, I start­ed hack­ing at it, and pro­duced, IMVHO, a much nicer thing.

As you can see, it takes slight­ly less space than ee­eX­ubun­tu's de­fault, and a whoop­ing 1GB less than the de­fault dis­tro.

How did I do it? First, by de­cid­ing what I want­ed.

• No Open­Of­fice. Kof­­fice is enough to read doc­s, then there is Google doc­s, and I pro­­duce my texts us­ing do­cu­tils

• No print­­ing. I have not used a print­­er in 5 years. What are the odds I will use one from the eee?

• wicd for net­­work con­­fig­u­ra­­tion. It works for wire­­less/wired/en­cryp­t­ed and has no prob­lem what­­so­ev­er re­­con­nec­t­ing af­ter sus­pend.

• yakuake for ter­mi­­nal. It us­es the least screen-s­­pace pos­si­ble: none if you are not us­ing it.

• Fire­­fox + Flash (I would use Kon­­queror, if flash9 had not bro­ken it)

• Kmail + Akre­­ga­­tor for mail and RSS

It works great, boots in 35 sec­onds (and I have not tuned that, yet).

Here's the list of in­stalled pack­ages and here's the list of re­pos I am us­ing

Maybe some­one more en­ter­pris­ing will make a re­al dis­tro out of it.
