There's few packets which we miss, so we made special ASUS EEE/Xandros repository. Applications you can find:
kismet - wireless stumbler - latest version
nmap - poort scanning tool - latest version
aicrack-ng - for wireless attack - latest version
gpsd - GPS utility - latest version
freemind - mind mapping application - latest stable version
openproj - project management application - latest stable version
rar - archiver - latest stable version
truecrypt - file encryption utility - latest stable version
yakuake - terminal just like in quake - latest stable version
mjpg-streamer - utility for streaming from webcam - latest version
After adding the repository you can say, something like:
apt-get install openproj
..and it will install openproj application.
These things you need to add to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/ binary/
deb-src http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/ source/
It's good that you add pinning also.
This is how my /etc/apt/sources.list looks:
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701 p701 main
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p701/en p701 main
deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2 etch main contrib non-free
deb http://dccamirror.xandros.com/dccri/ dccri-3.0 main
deb http://www.geekconnection.org/ xandros4 main
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/eeepcrepos/ p701 main etch
deb http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/ binary/
deb-src http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/ source/
And this is how my /etc/apt/preferences file looks (pinning):
Package: *
Pin: origin update.eeepc.asus.com
Pin-Priority: 950
Package: *
Pin: origin ftp.linux.hr
Pin-Priority: 945

Of course, you can always go to URL directly:
http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/binary/
and download package via browser and install it manually.
Offline
these are all binaries compiled specifically for the EEE?

YES!
I forgot to mention there is also keepassx package available. 
Anyway, sources can be found here:

Thanks
Useful stuff....

You're welcome!
Anyway, there's one notice regarding truecrypt: It doesn't work well with unionfs! So, if the filesystem is small you can copy it to /tmp and then mount it with truecrypt.
If you removed unionfs from your EEE, then you're lucky! You can mount it directy!

I'd be interested to se a recent version of qgis in your repository. Preferably most recent but at least 0.8.1.
http://www.qgis.org/

Can you tell me more about the GPS stuff listed there? I have an eXplorist 400 that I currently hook to my windows laptop for tracking / mapping, and I would love to do the same with my linux powered triple-E. Does it show the maps, your current position, etc, or is it just a tracking system that will need to be loaded into something like GoogleEarth to show you where you have been?
Offline
Alternatively, we could have just one EEE repository, and use the existing one?

Your wish is my command!
You can find qgis 0.9.1 available in repository. As I don't know too much about that software, it would be good if you can try it yourself and report me bugs (if there's any).
Do note that you need to have xandros/etch repositories as I stated above in order to have qgis dependencies available also.

gpsd is just for kismet in this repository but it's more like userland utility for accessing the GPS.
If you need something you mentioned, try to install gpsdrive:
http://www.gpsdrive.cc/
You can find it in xandros/etch repositories. If you have repositories set up as I stated above, you can just say:
apt-get install gpsdrive
Hope it helps!

That's also possible! But, I don't see anywhere upload form or something similar enlighten me, please!

You can suggest packages in the wiki, I believe, although deadDuck should be able to assist

I have found maintaining a repository to be more "manual" than I expected and haven't figured out a way to collaborate easily. For the time being, I applaud Kost on his/her initiative and notice that there have so far been no duplication of packages.
If someone can describe in technical detail how people could collaborate on the repository that I maintain, I'd agree with having only one. Until then, keep up the good work and the more the merrier!

When I copy your repository info and do:
sudo apt-get update
The process gets stuck at:
99% [10 Packges gzip 0]
Offline
in most of the cases the standard etch packages work like a charm for me.
Personally, I'd like to go to the horse's mouth.....

I guess the other repositories went down, because ftp.linux.hr was up all the time!

There's situation when etch is not good:
1) you want newer packages (like kismet, nmap, ...)
2) you need security updates (like recent samba vulnerability on stock Xandros)
3) you want specially ASUS EEE built packets (like truecrypt5 which doesn't fit on EEE screen by default)
Offline
I just want to remind you (on this topic also) to upgrade samba (security isssue)
In order to upgrade you need to change pinning of ftp.linux.hr to some higher number, I've put 955 in priority field. E.g. - you should put:
Package: *
Pin: origin ftp.linux.hr
Pin-Priority: 955
Then issue:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
I tried to make everything compatible with other original xandros packages, so nothing should broke.
If you want to read more about this security issue, read this topics:

Are you planning on adding things like Firefox updates?
I was planning on building the latest one, perhaps I could try packaging it up for inclusion.

Didn't have plans. But if you like to build one, I'll be glad to include it. To be transparent as possible, don't forget to include source packages as well.
PM me once you build package(s).

ktorrent did not install properly for me- it gave me the "cannot install package, check installation and try again" error. Maybe an older version works? I have a launch series eeePC 4G.

Cheers for sorting out the repository,
I have got truekrypt going (which I need for work). I used synaptic but had to install fuse-utils to get it to mount volumes, it refused first time. Synaptic wouldn't do this but apt-get worked.
ctrl-alt-t
sudo apt-get install fuse-utils [if anyone else has this problem]
I didn't find the screen size of the truecrypt gui to be a problem at all.
Offline
We want action games .. like wormux (www.wormux.org), teewars (www.teewars.com) or hedgewars (www.hedgewars.org).
This games are not running in Xandros because the old libc6.
Thanks in advance!
Offline
I ran Wormux on my stock machine without a problem (other than resizing the screen)?
