What I did to my eeepc

Well, it's about a week after I've got my eeepc.

I have installed the following to it:

• Install realmedia codec for SMplayer as per the instruction on http://blog.yam.com/tad0616/article/1230627
• I need to check on synchronisation of video and audio streams. I follow instructions here: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=11921&p=1
  
• I install Quick input method for Chinese as from instructions here: http://www2.uwants.com/viewthread.php?tid=5332227
  

1.先下載兩個檔案Quick.bin及Quick.png到 user 資料夾裡面 2.開啟File Manager在My Home入面找到 Quick.bin 和 Quick.png 兩個檔案下按Ctrl+Alt+T開啟主控台視窗 3.在/home/user>下輸入兩句指令注意大小寫及空格) sudo cp Quick.bin /usr/share/scim/tables 按enter sudo cp Quick.png /usr/share/scim/icons 按enter 己完成可關閉主控台視窗 4.然後看看SCIM setup入面Generic Table->Table Management檢查是否已多了一行 Quick輸入法 5.最後需要重新啟動電腦一次後就可以正常使用速成輸入法了

• I also looked at lazyeeepc but I decided not to go the easy way but the hard way. I like to learn the intricacies in Linux.

What I intent to do with the eeepc:

• Install synaptic package manager
• Update Firefox from default 2.0.0.9 to the latest (2.0.0.12 currently)
• Apply security patch
• Install wine and port some windows apps related to work
  

And can someone advise me if the anti-virus is actually of any use in a Linux system like Xandros in eeepc?
=============================================================
An update to the eeepc installation (as on 4 March):

* I install the "Advance Desktop" as per the instructions in http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=1083, so synaptic is already there with the Advanced Desktop.
* I add the xepc to the repo by adding
deb http://updates.xepc.org/debian stable main
to the file: /etc/apt/sources.list
So I should be able to apply the firefox update and security patches soon.
