I've got an eeepc 1000H running Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) w/ the eeebuntu
kernel for better wireless support. Folks running ubuntu on eeepcs should
look to the eebuntu kernel packaged fixes. With the cooperation of Ubuntu
and Moblin, future releases of Ubuntu should have better support for eeepcs
(and other Intel Atom systems) directly.

I'm also playing w/ Ubuntu 9.04 Remix for my dad. I'll likely get a new
eeepc 1000HE and let him have my 1000H after I load ubuntu 9.04 remix on it
for him. I'm testing out ubuntu remix within virtualbox 2.20 and think
he'll enjoy the interface (and I'll enjoy the lack of needing to decrap his
windows box every time I come to visit :-).

full disclosure: I work for Intel though not in anything tied to Moblin.
