Xandros that comes with the eeePC works very well, but you are limited in what
you can do. Their repositories are not very deep and most packages are at least
a year old. That makes them durable and stable and they do the trick, but are
limiting. If you use Linux seriously you will replace it to get a fuller Linux
experience. Mine runs Ubuntu 8.10 now. Compiz works fine on the eeePC (the 900
has 1 GB of RAM) and the camera and wirelesswork as in Xandros. The only thing
that does not work well is hibernation. That is a common problem with Ubuntu and
other distros and laptops. I don't leave mine on much as they can get very hot,
so the hibernation is not a big deal.
