New question #50315 on Ubuntu Eee:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/50315

I have tried to upgrade my asus 901 to intrepid ubuntu distribution.

To do it, first of all, I've checked "normal distributions" in Software sources. Next, I've run the update manager and I've tried to update. 
After a few steps, the upgrade manager said me that it doesn't update because it can't install the ubuntu-desktop meta package.
The /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log is the following:

To solve the problem, I've tried to install the ubuntu-desktop package but ubuntu responses:

The following NEW packages will be installed automatically:

  ubuntu-docs
0 updated packages, 34 new installed packages, 0 to remove and 0 without update.
I need to download 74,2MB. After unpacking,  347MB will be used.
The following packages don't satisfy the dependencies:
  ubuntu-eee: It enters with conflict linux-headers-generic (>= 2.6.24.17) but  2.6.24.21.23 will be installed.
Resolving dependencies...
The following actions will solve these dependencies

Remove the following packages:
ubuntu-eee

The score is 119

(I've translated from spanish. Sorry for the bad english)

My questions are:

1) Can I upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 with an asus 901?
2) Is it save to continue with the previous actions?
3) How can I solve the problem?

Thanks,

Arnau.
