NiceeePC it's an automatization script written in Bash exclusively for the ASUS eeePC and Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
Actually, it can fix almost every problem found in a standard installation of Ubuntu like ACPI support, Wifi, OSD keys, sound, bootup speed, etc.
The script is interactive so the user can choose what fix or feature to apply. Some of the features are Kernel version dependent (ACPI, Wifi, Overclock), the script can monitor the kernels upgrades and update the system without internet connection OR it can install the Adam's excellent custom kernel for the eeePC. Additionally, the script can install useful software like Skype, UCView, Audacious, Avant Window Navigator, Wine, etc.
The script is secure, so it can be run undefined times without crashing the system or you can run any function in manual mode.
The current version of the script was tested on the eeePC 701 and Ubuntu GNU/Linux Hardy Heron 8.04.1 clean install.
The eeePC 900 is supported and tested by the community. So, if you want to collaborate please test the script and fill any bug report.
The eeePC 901-1000X is unsupported and untested.
