One application that I have so far failed to set up was a viable note-taking application. I looked at Tomboy and Basket but installing them involves upgrading a lot of Xandros packages and *might* render my Eee inoperable - something I'd hate to happen at this point.
Then I remembered a cool stand-alone wiki called TiddlyWiki. I remember dabbling with it a few months ago and it suddenly hit me -- why not use TiddlyWiki as my own note-taking application? It doesn't require any installation and it works well with Eee's bundled FireFox and my newly installed Flock!
So I promptly downloaded my own copy of TiddlyWiki and saved it on my SD card partition. and what do you know? It works pretty well! Now I have my own note-taking application without even having to install anything.

I'm a fellow EEE user, also kinda wishing he could install another notetaking app other than the one included...I really like notecase, but I ran into the same upgrade issues as you. TiddlyWiki is a great idea!
BernieJ - would be interested to hear your experience after several months of TW on the eee - I'm considering a purchase, and need my TW to 'go with me'... I have a 2.5mb file size by now, and typically use Prism to run it. I was wondering how the performance is on the eee, comparted to other boxes, when you work w/ your TW? how bout paging speed ( did you do the RAM upgrade yet? :-) )
thanks,

@juergen: My experience with TiddlyWiki is great so far. The speed I get with it on my Eee is similar to my experience in using it with my Apple iBook 800 Mhz.
BTW, I alternately use FireFox and Flock with it.
