am wondering if a simple
python+csound thangs are available @ it's terminal
xandros seems to be debian based
but the question is whether we could really apt-get many thangs or not

i'd rather install a X-less-CUI-Slackware to it if possible
is the disk partition custumizing available via fdisk?

my another thought is to keep the os as is far happy ordianary thangs
in net-life
but keeping a bootable USB-PEN to boot @ Eee and other small machines..
maybe p:d?
if Slack@CUI is available ... again that's nicer .. then custumized SLAX?
