The little computer that could ...

After reading the post on planetkde about KDE4 running smoothly on an aged machine, I was tempted to try it myself. Although the EeePC is far from old, its CPU/memory and graphics card are relatively low end.
I simply downloaded the latest KDE4 RC kubuntu live CD, and followed the instructions from the EeeUser wiki on how to make a "live" usb stick. A slight adjustment to the bios/boot order, installing the libgl1-mesa-dri package, and a short while later I was pleasantly surprised by the following:
Linux EEE PC
You got the Linux EEE PC at 4GB storage space, right?
How would you think the odds would be to make KDE 3.5 run on the 1024MB RAM/12 GB windows version of the EEE?
I'm pondering buying one myself but I would really prefer the added storage space. Could nick Windoze in the bin after buying it if this works.
err....
Make that KDE 4.. I've been typing KDE 3.5 far too much lately. @_@
re:err....
It should work just fine I imagine - try it out and let me know how it goes! :)

Linux can imitate Apple now, lets all whack off
This is cool but I don't
This is cool but I don't know if I could afford the difference in bootup and bloating vs the default linux installed.
Nice but how long does it
Nice but how long does it take to boot?
re: Nice but how long does it
Since it's from a USB stick, it takes a while. But the default EeePC takes about 17seconds. And KDE4 doesnt take very long, so if it's installed onto the Solid State Drive...hmm... 25-30 seconds I would guess. Gotta be realistic ;)
