ASUS EEE - new Xandros repository
As you can notice, I built new repository for Xandros ASUS EEE distribution. It has some Croatian specific packages as well as some interesting packages which you cannot find elsewhere. So, for example you can install Keepassx which is Password Manager I use. Also, you can install Truecrypt which is multiplatform file system encryption I use. Note that you'll need dm-mod module installed and insmoded before mounting truecrypt volumes and you can download it here (it's not available in Xandros default distro!). Probably, you'll find kernel modules as packages in future as well.
In order to add new repository, you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add following lines (as administrator/root):
deb http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/ binary/
deb-src http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/ source/
...or you can download packages directly.
Do note that you need to install additional repositories as prerequisites. Follow instructions here:

The two things I still have not been able to do is to install Tomboy (when I type "make install" from within the directory where all its files are it tells me that there is no such command.) The other thing is to be able to see my IPod withing the media player. Do you have any suggestions on how to go around those two issues? Thanks in advance. e.
