Shortly after getting my eeePC 900 I decided to ditch the installed Xandros and installed Ubuntu 8.04 eee edition. It took some tweaking to get a few things working properly, but eventually made it's way to stable and fine.
Then the Ubuntu eee team (which I think is mostly one guy doing the work and thousands asking for it) released 8.04.1 which included a sweet "Netbook Remix" interface. I installed that on the 4GB SSD drive, and setup the 16GB SSD drive as the /home mount. Now, though, I was having speed issues. When running, everything seemed to be "delayed": typing, clicking, etc. After suffering through it for a bit, and doing some research, I decided to start over. I formatted both drives, this time formatting the 16GB /home drive as ext2 instead of the journaling ext3 filesystem. Then I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04.1 with no problems. Other than the known "no audio after hibernate" bug, I now have zero issues with Ubuntu on this eeePC.
I wish I had a free XP license. I'd like to try installing XP on it and see how that runs.
I wish I could find a good, inexpensive car charger for it now...
