removing Mono from EeeUbuntu

I removed the Mono stuff from my eeeubuntu (because I can and I want to) with

# sudo apt-get remove --purge mono-common libmono0


this removes Banshee and F-Spot which I then replaced by other applications with

# sudo apt-get rhythmbox gthumb

Getting Acrobat reader in english on EeePC

To have Acrobat Reader in english on a german EeePC run

# apt-get remove acroread-de

then only the acroread package will be left on the system and Acrobat Reader now will be in english.

changing default language in EeePC

Just receive my EeePC 901 GO (Linux version) and being in Germany it came with an out of the box german user interface, fair enough. Hower I wanted to have all software in english so after some research this is what I did to achieve this:

edit the file /etc/default/locale and replace

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

with

LANG=en_EN.UTF-8

then reboot, and you will be greeted in english and all applications including the custom ASUS user interface) will be in english.
