==GRAMPS on the ASUS Eee PC==
===GRAMPS 3.x===
Ubuntu packages of the latest version of GRAMPS are always available from the GRAMPS website. Ubuntu furthermore is the most popular linux distro at the moment, so it makes sense to just install Ubuntu on the Eee, and then install the GRAMPS 3.x package for Ubuntu.
If you go that road, backup all your data you created in Xandros linux, then proceed to overwrite the base Xandros linux with [https://web.archive.org/web/20120220002740/http://www.geteasypeasy.com / Easy Peasy(Dead link/Archived website)] or [httphttps://wwwen.eeebuntuwikipedia.org /wiki/Aurora_(operating_system) Eeebuntu(Discontinued 2009)], both Ubuntu derivatives for the Eee.
If all goes well you have after this a good working Eee, with security updates, and access to the largest repositories of linux software. Download the ubuntu package of GRAMPS from [http://sourceforge.net/projectprojects/gramps/files/showfiles.php?group_id=25770&package_id=109309 sourceforge] to a directory, open the directory in your file browser, right click on the icon of the package to open the context menu, and choose the ''install'' action to install GRAMPS (root password will be asked).
Improvements have been made in GRAMPS 3.1 that will allow GRAMPS to work better with the small screen size of the Eee. Some of the larger windows have been re-designed to take up less screen space and other improvements allow windows to resize smaller. Also GRAMPS 3.1 can work in full screen mode too.
===Installing Gramps 2.2.x on the ASUS Eee PC 4G under Xandros===
First follow the suggestions in https://web.archive.org/web/20130324133325/http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:beginners_guide
*get connected
*back-up simpleui.rc
Use SublimePorte's ''Launch Tools'' to add a Gramps lanucher to the simple interface tab of your choice. The path to the executable is: /usr/bin/gramps.
If you would like to run the latest stable Gramps download ''gramps_2.2.10-1_all.deb'' package from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gramps. Navigate to the downloaded file, right click it and chose ''Install DEB file''. This will update the version that you previously installed. This WILL NOT substitute for apt-get's package installation. I've uploaded some screenshots from Gramps running on the Eee PC to http://www.flickr.com/photos/davestuff/

[*] Hold down {{Man key press|Alt-|Left-|Mouse }} and you can move the window up with the mouse so that the buttons become accessible. Too late for you now but good to know.
