Do you have more information on this? Specifically, which distribution
was used (preinstalled Xandros or maybe the eee Ubuntu version)? I
bought an eee today and I'm looking forward to get xcas up and running
on it.

Ok, I see. Well, my medium-term plans are to make an interface between
giac and my Q language. Q already has a Qt-based spreadsheet-like
frontend (http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/qcalc/qcalc.html), which works
on the eee just fine. The spreadsheet lets you have arbitrary GUI
elements and even full-blown applications like gnuplot running inside
table cells, so it might be possible to integrate giac's functionality
in that environment. I'll have a look at that as soon as I have some
spare time. But in the meantime I will certainly give xcas a try first.
