As soon as the desktop box is up and stable I'll be swapping to Debian for my EEE 1000. This thread exists as a notepad of things that I need/want to do when I get Debian installed and even during installation.
I'll probably put some notes in this thread on general things I do when I install Debian regardless of the platform. Thus it will serve as a good reference for my new PC build install too.

Re: Debian on the EEE 1000
I use gnome-terminal and it only sees fontconfig fonts - to enable it seeing the default xterm font "fixed" / "miscfixed" run :
And choose yes to bitmapped fonts when it prompts.
EDIT : This caused firefox to crash. I'm filing a bug report against it.
Code: Select all
rwdlsd:/root> dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
rwdlsd:/root> dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
