IMHO is better to wait an upgrade for eeeXubuntu that will be "builded around or small PC"...
I've read in a blog that somebody is working on this new version....

Howdy Mallard - I'm waiting for update manager to finish installing the 8.04 upgrade to my Eeexubuntu install (which was working great, aside from slow boot times).  It would be awesome if you could post the changes you made to the "ubuntueeetweak.sh" script you reference in your above post.  I'm going to fiddle with this upgraded Eeexubuntu for a while (I can always return to my working Eeexubuntu via an Acronis restore)...

Thanks!!!

UPDATE:  Finished upgrading Eeexubuntu to 8.04.  After reboot, no ethernet or wireless.  Saw recommendations in other forum posts to remove battery & power down and to manually assign a Static IP address, then set the connection to DHCP (auto assign) again.  I'm not sure what worked to enable my ethernet, but I set the Wired connection in Network Settings to a static IP address, did a hard power off, restarted, set the Wired connection to DHCP, hard powered off again (i.e., removed battery), then set the Wired Connection to "Enable Roaming Mode" hard power cycled again, and my ethernet connection started working (and has ever since).

I then took the script you referenced - http://www.x2on.de/eeepc/ubuntueeetweak.sh - and changed it to look like this

Wow!  So far, I can't find anything that doesn't work.  Update Manager updated three packages (libssl0.9.8, openssh-client, and openssl) which required a reboot (I did a hard reboot - i.e., removed battery).  After reboot, everything still works. 

Fn keys and OSD works for volume, wireless on/off, and brightness. 
I've played .wma and .wmv files (had to download restricted codecs - did it automatically with no problems), and I watched a YouTube video. 
So far, the only problem I've noticed is that the Firefox launcher icon I have on my bottom panel has lost it's icon and turned into a generic system "gear" icon, but it still launches Firefox.

If I toggle the wireless off and on using the F2 key, I have to reboot to get the Network Manager to "see" the wireless again .  I'm at work, so I haven't actually connected to a wireless network, but I can see the nearby wireless networks when I right-click on the Network Manager icon on the taskbar (bottom panel).

If I plug in an external monitor, I have to reboot to get the Eee to recognize it, and the F5 hotkey has no effect on either display.  With an external monitor hooked up (15 inch lcd), the xfce display settings automatically switches to the native resolution of the external monitor and the screen is duplicated on the eee's screen and the external monitor, except that on the eee's screen, it can only show the top left corner of the 1024x768 desktop.  I just tried to change the resolution in the Xfce Settings Manager - Display Preferences, and the Eee's screen went blank, but the external monitor still works.  Unplugging the external display had no effect.  Rebooting with the external monitor disconnected re-enabled the Eee's display.

Weird - although the Eee is (and has been) displaying the standard Eee resolution of 800x480, this resolution does not appear as an option in "Display Settings."

I do have issues with powering off - I have to unplug the power cord and remove the battery in order to fully power down - I'll go check the Eeexubuntu and Eee Hardy Heron wikis and see if there's anything about this in there...

Otherwise, it's working great - so far a better experience than the one I had with straight Ubuntu 8.04 - for some reason I couldn't get my wired or wireless connections to function consistently.

The wifi needs a custom driver to be built.

I tried to update to this earlier tonight though it said I didn't have enough free space though I already ran "sudo apt-get clean" emptied my trash and have no files saved to the desktop or home folder
has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it

@dead necro
go into synaptic and try removing openoffice, gimp and that should give you enough space for the install

@bakkman
try the scripts given in this forum.  It will be alot easier than reinstalling your OS

I want to upgrade to 8.04, but last time I tried it failed epicly, leaving a console with not very much working.  It said while installing that there were tonnes of depency conflicts or errors, so i am very reluctant to upgrade now.  Any suggestions?

I recommend you stay with eeeXubuntu 7.10. It works great and wireless works out of the box for me

Everything I read is telling me to reinstall the madwifi drivers...but I just get a 403 error on every page there except their home page.
