This works for me. I have my EEEPC900HA which just recovered from a friggin BSOD. So I installed a new OS. Everything works great so far. Just have some problems intstallng plugins like shockwave. but its good, worth a try. :) great for netbooks

Many things just don't work correctly or are laid out in a strange way. There seems to be no effort to address the fact that this is stored on a flash device and not a hard drive. It wanted me to install swap on my SSD...duh? that's just stupid! Audio is terrible, even after hacks to get it to work, it still sounds like crap. It's unusable for audio. It also seems to take a whalloping amount of ram. I would have thought 1gb of ram would be enough, I was wrong. This is FAIL LINUX

Great netbook distro

I upgraded from ubuntu eee 8.04, and I'm sorry that I did. Wireless frequently doesn't connect, and it frequently doesn't shutdown via NBR interface. I have to do a manual shutdown from an xterm. And I can't display text files in an editor window when clicking them from the file menu. On the plus side, the NBR look is better on such a small PC, but this release needs fixing.

I just got it installed this morning and while I have not used it heavily yet, I have run everything I normally do on it for a good part of the day. Everything works so far. I did get a bad battery alert - so that is not working correctly, which for me is only a minor annoyance.

Nevertheless, I have run audio, video and Firefox with excellent results. The install from an ISO CD went without a hitch. Everything works so far! This is a far cry from my experience with the EEEPclinuxOs which has a difficult to understand installation procedure. The Ubuntu install on the other hand is a snap.

The installed software, Open Office, Firefox, Totem, Pidgin, work without problems. I installed Amarok and bingo my music plays beautifully. Open Office runs great - so far so good. Wifi was easy to set up. I simply clicked on the Network icon in the panel where upon I saw four active wireless networks, I clicked on mine put in the WEP key info and I was up and running. No fuss no muss! Ethernet hardwire connection is humming away.

Again, this is only a one day overview of a fresh installation. But for those of you who like Hardy Heron, it is worth a try. I am anxious to see of everyone else has a similar experience to mine.

The team that put this package together did a marvelous job on all of the basics. Only time will tell if my one day experience extends into a stable, reliable version for the EeePC.
