In any case, I decided to try Fedora-10, and found that much more to my liking. It actually worked better on my EeePC-4G, eg WiFi (to my surprise) worked out of the box, while eeebuntu seemed to require madwifi .
I have the 701, one of the earliest smallest slowest, and have been trying one distro after another. I did not get the good result with F10 that others did -- some error of mine, no doubt, but I don't know what.
My EeePC is also a 701. As far as I can see, Fedora-10 runs exactly the same on this machine as on my other laptops. Is your objection to Fedora-10 itself? (In which case you might like Eeebuntu.) Or is there some problem with running Fedora-10 on this machine?
If I had my time again I would probably use ext2 rather than ext3 as I have seen some warnings against ext3 on SSDs. I don't know if it is possible to downgrade an existing system?
The tune2fs program supports using an external journal, I didn't see an option to remove the journal from a filesystem, but you can use a mount option to force mount as ext2 (or could the last time I tried) a thus avoid the issue. That's as close to downgrading as I can help you get.
