Please add this one to the list also.

You can add gFTP to the working list (may requires debian repos which I already had). This info thanks to DonkeyBeliever in this post, and tested/verified by me tonight.

If this is becoming a thread on software that works with no issues, i'd like to add:
Picasa (with minor mod)
aMSN
RSYNC
3D Desktop
What modification did you have to make for Picasa? Did you install the Linux one, or the Windows one with Wine? I needed the Windows version (for WebAlbums) but had some issues with the version of Wine I was able to grab from the Xandros repository. I had to install a newer version of Wine from a debian package.

I installed Freemind 7.61 off the Debian stable repository. It gives me some grief about a missing font on startup but runs fine. It was the one app I was missing for my Nano writing this month. I'd rather have the newer Freemind 8 to match my install on windows but for what I'm doing the 7.6 version works just fine. Maybe in December I'll look into installing the current 8.0 version.

argh!
Could people please post instructions as well as just lists of what works? What's the point of saying "this works" and leaving it at that?
I tried installing 3D Desktop and it doesn't work. I get complaints about "no direct rendering possible". Please explain how you got it working, and maybe then post everywhere that it works?
*sigh*

Could someone try Roadnav and if someone had a GPS dongle that would be even better!

I can see the Eee becoming a pretty good inCar Nav system!

I don't think the scope of this thread includes installation walkthroughs but if something errored out on your first try and you installed it using the standard methods, I can understand your frustration.
I can't speak for 3D Desktop, but I can promise that I won't post about a working app unless it actually works without a hitch for me.

OK i updated the list and wiki, and original post to encourage that new items just be added straight to the wiki. It becoming clear that a ton of software is just going to install with no issues, so hopefully we can get folks to edit their post and at least include what sources the used for the software, and if a simple apt-get or synaptic worked, or some detail on what they had to do. Thanks to DonkeyBeliever and peteb1951 who already did 98% of the work on the wiki, I have never used one before tonight.

Add gparted to the wiki. This is a great program for formatting sd cards and playing with the 4 gig ssd drive. Just add the debian repos and sudo apt-get install gparted.
Same for XMMS mp3 player sudo apt-get install xmms.

I managed to install Apache2, PHP5 and MySQL along with their dependencies. So far it seems to be working fine. I made a phpinfo test file and it was served up in the browser without problems. I have also changed the root password for MySQL and that worked OK as well.
Apache and PHP took up about 11MB of disk space, while MySQL took up 35MB. I used Synaptic to add the Debian repository, deb http://http.us/debian.org/debian/ stable main, as explained in the Download Squad article at http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/11/06 … -in-linux/
For some reason Synaptic chucked up errors when I tried to install the marked software, so I used apt-get from the console and this worked. I followed the instructions for this at http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server
The reason I want these programs is so I can take my Eee PC to work and learn how to develop dynamic Web pages (in my spare time of course).

Well, it wasn't just the first try - I also tried running 3ddeskd --kde3 as it suggested, and changing other settings, but it always ended up on that error message. I have some experience of Linux at least, I guess it must be even more frustrating for people with even less experience than me.

I installed CrossOver fine. I downloaded the standard 32 bit Debian (.deb) file from their website after registering. It's commercial, but looks pretty good.
Not sure whether I needed to reboot, but it didn't work until I added the bin directory to the PATH in /etc/profile (PATH after the else).

Is the CrossOver version you have the one that supports some DirectX stuff? Do you generally think CrossOver is worth the premium over Wine on Linux (as opposed to, say, on Macs, where CrossOver is basically installable and usable and Wine is not yet)? Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have that much knowledge of CrossOver or WINE. I just installed it today and it works fine with a Windows GDI game.

Thank you vonstringer, LAMP was on my "to do" list. This is one for the wiki. It will be nice to learn PHP on the road.

hmmm, i tried that first and it choked & died, don't remember the exact error. It could be because I grabbed the 9.5 beta too.

I got Ruby on Rails installed very easily. Base ruby was present anyway.
I added debian to sources.list and apt-get installed irb irb1.8 ri ri1.8 rdoc and rdoc1.8
I downloaded rubygems from ruby forge and ran 'ruby setup.rb'
then did a gem install rails and all was well.
Nice little mini dev machine.

@bobby_1290 Might I suggest you change your kicker launch icon, it might give you a bit more space on the tiny screen

Sorry. I thought from some other pictures for some reason that the task bar by default looked pretty much like it did in the simple mode, so I was wondering if that was the Xandros Gnome look or something like that... Thanks!
