First thoughts are: the stock Xandros based OS is a bit "My First Computer".
Now Ubuntu Jaunty Jackelope is out (about 2 days after getting the EeePC), I thought I'd give it a quick trial run, to start with just as a "Live SD" version of Ubuntu Netbook Remix running off a 4Gb SDHC card (class 6, 15Mb/s).
Looks nice. Don't know if I prefer the Netbook Remix interface or the normal Desktop interface. It's not a big deal to swap between the two though.
Things that work out of the box (Stock Ubuntu Netbook Remix v9.04):
- Webcam (enable it in BIOS first)
- Bluetooth (enable it in BIOS first)
Things that nearly work 100%:
- WiFi (minor bug - set your home router to WPA/TKIP, not WPA2 and it all works fine)
Silly bugs:
- The Horizontal volume control is daft, and although works fine on the EeePC, it is inconsistent and unintuitive when used with a mouse with scroll wheel.
