[edit] System
- Compact Themes - Get out the most of your screen
- EEE Control - one-stop solution for all special Linux Eee PC needs. It allows you to configure hardware and hotkeys, switch between performance levels (very much like Asus' Super Hybrid Engine) and more.
- Note: eee-control may stop your sound from working (google for eee-control and sound), however you can try whether it works for you, and if not you can simply uninstall it (and reinstall eeepc... that it removes) and after a reboot the sound will come back.
[edit] Video
- Elisa - Turn your eeePc into a media center pc From the site "The Elisa Media Center has many advanced features that will make your media center experience unique. It features an intuitive interface with a professional look and feel which can be easily used with a standard TV remote control."
- Zattoo Live TV.
- FreeTube Live TV (with support for more countries!)
- VLC VLC Media player, comes with many codecs and just works, unlike totem ;) [$>sudo aptitude install vlc]
